The Enchanted April
In the dreary confines of a London women's club, where the rain pelts against the windows and life seems oppressively mundane, two women stumble upon a life-changing opportunity. "The Enchanted April," by Elizabeth von Arnim, tells the enchanting story of four disparate women who escape their routine lives to a medieval Italian castle for a month of rejuvenation.
