WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BRENDA BOWENMrs Wilkins and Mrs Arbuthnot, cowed and neglected by their husbands, make a daring plan: they will have a holiday. Published alongside a modern version of the same story entitled Enchanted August. On the shores of the Mediterranean, beauty, warmth and leisure weave their spell, and nothing will ever be the same again. Count von Arnim died in 1910, and in 1916 Elizabeth married John Francis Stanley. More recently, the novel has been the inspiration for a major film and a Broadway play.
Four very different women take up the offer- Mrs Wilkins and Mrs Arbuthnot, both fleeing unappreciative husbands beautiful Lady Caroline, sick of being 'grabbed' by lovesick men and the imperious, ageing Mrs Fisher. The Enchanted April was a best-seller in both England and the United States, where it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and set off a craze for tourism to Portofino. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BRENDA BOWEN A notice in The Times addressed to 'Those Who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine' advertises a 'small medieval Italian Castle to be let for the month of April'.
