Summary
Mrs. Wilkins and Mrs. Arbuthnot are glad to leave their insipid duties and unresponsive husbands behind; the elderly Mrs. Fisher wishes only to sit in the sun and replay her youthful memories; and the bewitchingly beautiful Lady Caroline Dester desires to have seclusion from all adoring suitors. A month of blissful privacy at San Salvatore promises to be the remedy each of them is looking for. Amid the canopies of fragrant wisteria, in the sweet sunshine and melodious silence, four lives are transformed and resuscitated by the magic of San Salvatore.

Where was this story going?
I found this book boring, I didn’t enjoy the narrator either. I was so bored with this book, if I couldn’t sleep, I would listen to the book and every time I would fall asleep. I found it old fashioned and without purpose.

Evocative
Beautifully observed, well read. I could almost smell those flowers. Quietly amusing must see if I can find the film version.

A staggering breath of air.
I loved the characterisation, the descriptive details, the psychological insight. Just what was needed following a global pandemic. I quietly wished myself into each of this beautifully crafted novels pages.

Different!
This novel is definitely different.
It is a bit of escapism and a little behind belief but refreshing in its concept and I sort of enjoyed it.
The writing used was exceptionally good and full of description for the castle and it's surroundings and that is the part I most enjoyed.
Would definitely read this author again and the whole book was brought to life by the narrator who performed it brilliantly.

A trip to heaven!
Nadia May excels herself here as the narrator, she sounds as if she's enjoying reading the story. All in all, it's a lively, refreshing, simple book making it easy to listen to. One character in The Enchanted April describes their holiday in Italy, as taking place in heaven. Elizabeth Von Arnim also lavishly describes a garden and the flowers of Italy, interwoven in a lovely story. There's gentle comedy in here too, what more can you ask for?

Almost enchanting
One of my favourite novels but I think a different narrator would have worked better here - perhaps Josie Lawrence who starred in the 1991 version of the film
