The author’s descriptive writing is beautiful, especially when describing flowers and she made Italy very enticing, especially for an April holiday! This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it doesn’t surprise me that her first book was titled, Elizabeth and Her German Garden and that in real life she created a wonderful garden at her home in France. At first I thought the story was going to involve marriage break-ups and everyone would go off and give up on their marriage partners but von Arnim crafted a lovely turn around in each woman’s life. I’d describe this story as a sort of modern fairytale. ‘Beauty made you love, and love made you beautiful…’ However, the magic of the place works itself into the lives and hearts of all four and by the end of the four weeks of April major changes have taken place. Neither of them being big spenders, they decide to find two other ladies to come as well but when all four of them arrive at their destination, personalities clash and the holiday has all the makings of a great disappointment. Both women see a small Italian castle advertised in The Times and Lottie screws up her courage to approach Rose to suggest they take it for a month. Rose was also in an unhappy marriage, not that she ever complained. The Enchanted April begins in London where Lottie Wilkins, a young married woman neglected and belittled by her husband begins a conversation with Rose Arbuthnot, a woman she only knew by sight in their woman’s club. |
