The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim
The novel is a charming tale of four disparate English women in the 1920s who, tired of their dreary lives in rainy London, respond to an advertisement to rent a small medieval Italian castle for the month of April. As they settle into the idyllic surroundings of the Italian Riviera, the beauty of their surroundings begins to work its magic on each of them, healing old wounds and sparking new growth. The women, initially strangers to one another, form a bond that transcends their differences, finding rejuvenation and transformation amidst the wisteria blossoms and tranquil beauty of their temporary home.
