Enchanted April
Enchanted April | Elisabeth Von Arnim
4 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Four women, with very different backgrounds and characters - the artless Lottie Wilkins, the pious Rose Arbuthnot, the cantankerous Mrs Fisher and the haughty Lady Caroline Dester - respond to an advertisement in The Times offering a medieval castle to rent in Italy that April. As their joint holiday begins, tensions flare up between them, but they soon bond over their past misfortunes and rediscover hope and the pleasures of life in their tranquil surroundings.A huge best-seller when it was published in 1922, The Enchanted April has inspired generations of readers since and established Portofino and the Italian Riviera as a mainstay of the tourist circuit.

Unpopular opinion: I get that this is a popular read and the premise was so promising to me but I couldn't get past the writing and slow build to the plot. I recognize the classical style of writing though I suppose I don't enjoy it enough to get immersed.

My last day at the Cape. Blue skies all 4 days. Walked Bank Street Beach in Harwichport. Crystal clear, shimmering blue water, wet sand, salt air, abundant seashells. 3 others on the beach. Peaceful with the sound of the waves, an occasional cry from the seagulls. Heaven on earth. #awesomeapril #readathon #midweekcheckin
Still behind with Enchanted April, but 3/4 through Murder in Old Bombay, met my goal( 2 chapter) in Orwell‘s Roses.

#NamasteNovember #Serenity - to go away to Italy, to be amongst the wisteria and dappled sunshine; to find love and friendship and peace - this book is my idea of serenity.

Eggs I‘m with you *sigh* 5y
