Enchanted August
Enchanted August | Brenda Bowen
6 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
'Brenda Bowen's Enchanted August is a perfect summer read for any time of the year' Everyone needs a place like Hopewell Cottage a romantic holiday rental on a small, sunny island. For Rose and Lottie, its a refuge from the frenzy of the school gates. For Beverly, its a chance to say goodbye to two lost loves. And for disgraced movie star Caroline, it offers the anonymity she craves. But on tiny Little Lost Island, with its cocktail parties, tennis matches and Ladies Association for Beautification, will they really find the answers to their very modern problems? Delightful... I'm dreaming of blueberries and Maine lobster. We all need a sunny island or castle to which we can run away Helen Simonson, author of MAJOR PETTIGREWS LAST STAND

Book #4 from the 75% off Presidents Day sale at thrift store. The first line on the back page was soooo relatable to my life. “Lottie and Rose are near-strangers, but they‘re both in the same boat: if they don‘t get away from their regular lives - kids, school, failed ambitions- they will implode. So the two answer rental ad and head out of town for a restorative month away.” Or so they think,right?

I have a book club meeting over this tonight. A fun, easy, beach read. It's a retelling of The Enchanted April, so of course I had to read that, too.

I tried but I just couldn't get attached to these characters. I got halfway through and gave up. Hope I wasn't hasty.

melbeautyandbooks I think halfway through is more than enough time to make that determination. 8y

It's still August, so I picked this off the shelf this morning to get in under the wire. It's based on Elizabeth van Arnim's Enchanted April.
