Book introduction
The Enchanted April
The Enchanted April sends four English women to a Ligurian castle where wisteria, sea air, and temporary freedom unsettle old habits. Elizabeth von Arnim blends social comedy with emotional recovery, marriage, solitude, companionship, and the quiet drama of choosing happiness.
