The Enchanted April

By: Elizabeth von Arnim

Narrated by: Eleanor Bron

It began in a women's club in London on a February afternoon. A discreet advertisement in The Times, addressed to "Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine..." lures four very different women away from the dismal British weather to San Salvatore, a castle high above a bay on the sunny Italian Riviera. There, the Mediterranean spirit stirs the souls of Mrs Arbuthnot, Mrs Wilkins, Lady Caroline Dester, and Mrs Fisher, and remarkable changes occur.

Italy in April

I love this book. I have been aquainted with this story for over thirty years. I have watched the movie. Read the book even watched a play, my favorite easy is audible and Eleanor Bron as the narrator. Ever year the characters unfold and they are richer more filled out and real. I will probably go on loving and revisiting this story for many more springs, being transported for a winter cure to Italy in April.

Love this story.

I first found this book in Librivox free audio book app, then finally bought it. Great story, love each character. I've lost count of how many times I've re-listened to it.

Delightful

Such a refreshing and lovely book! I enjoyed every minute of its unfolding... Such a happy experience!!!

Enchanting

Characters beautifully drawn. A female author’s version of an EM Forster. Wonderfully read as well.

Lovely story.

The narrator is marvelous and makes the listening enchanted. such a simple story with some deeper thoughts to ponder.
