The Enchanted April |
Published in 1922 after the author had spent a month in an Italian Castello overlooking the Ligurian Sea, you imagine that she was so entranced by the views, colours and scents that she had to share these with readers. Four disparate women, previously unknown to each other, rent a castle for a holiday away from their rather joyless lives. Initially there are petty misunderstandings but slowly their lives are transformed by this adventure and happiness is regained. A charming holiday read.
