Wilkins has spent her adult life waiting on a demanding and disapproving husband. Arbuthnot know each other (barely) because they attend the same church. Small mediaeval Italian Castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let Furnished for the month of April. To Those who Appreciate Wisteria and Sunshine. The story is set in motion by an advertisement that reads: The Enchanted April, written in 1922, is about four women who rent a castle in Italy together for one month (April, duh). This slow paced, lyrical novel is about friendships between women and the joy of literally having a room of one’s own, if only for a month. Finally I have gotten to the book and it is indeed delightful, although reading it immediately after finishing Gideon the Ninth was perhaps not the best choice (tonal whiplash!). Somehow I’ve managed to exist this far into life without having seen or read The Enchanted April.
