A recipe for happiness: four women, one medieval Italian castle, plenty of wisteria,and solitude as needed.
The women at the center of The Enchanted April are alikeonly in their dissatisfaction with their everyday lives. They find each other—andthe castle of their dreams—through a classified ad in a London newspaper one rainyFebruary afternoon. The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don’t anticipatethat the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true naturesand reacquaint them with joy. Now, if the same transformation can be worked on theirhusbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete.
The Enchanted April was abest-seller in both England and the United States, where it was a Book-of-the-MonthClub selection, and set off a craze for tourism to Portofino. More recently, thenovel has been the inspiration for a major film and a Broadway play.
