About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The discreet advertisement in The Times, addressed 'To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine', offers a small medieval castle for rent, above a bay on the Italian Riviera.

Four very different women - the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester - are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.

The Enchanted April, published in 1922, is a witty and delightful depiction of what it is like to rediscover joy.

Magic Italy

Time for an engrossing story about how couples thrive in beautiful flower-filled Italy. We experience 30 days of enchantment and want more. Excellent translation from German; read with distinctive portrayal of each character. Buy your ticket to this castle now.

Truly an enchanting story

A beautiful tale of four women swept away by beauty and love in the enchanting setting of San Salvatore. I didn't want it to end.
