by Elizabeth Von Arnim (Author), Brenda Bowen (Introduction by)
The charming, slyly comic novel of romantic longing and transformation that inspired the Oscar-nominated film
Four very different women escape the monotony of dreary London for the sunshine of Italy in a medieval castle on the Mediterranean. As each blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring, they encounter unexpected friendship, personal growth, and heartwarming romance. An immediate bestseller upon its first publication in 1922, The Enchanted April set off a craze for tourism to the Italian Riviera that continues today. This witty ensemble piece explores new beginnings, happiness, and the power of nature.
