Book Reviews of The Enchanted April (Blackstone Audio Classic Collection) (Classic Collection (Brilliance Audio))
Book Review: Enchanting Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a fan of the movie and I had no idea that it was based on this novel. It's a story that centers around four women in England after the end of the second world war. The women, who are strangers, are drawn together by an ad in the paper for the rental of a small castle in Italy during the month of April. Each woman is also seeking an escape or change in their lives, though not everyone is aware of the desire. Although times have changed, women really haven't. These women are still recognizable in ourselves or our friends.
The novel is almost like an impressionist painting in away. The words paint pictures filled with colors and light. I enjoyed this novel and the movie because it's like taking the trip with the ladies. Everyone needs an Enchanted April in their lives. Be sure to see the movie if you haven't already...it's like being in Italy in April, too. Sigh....

Summary of The Enchanted April (Blackstone Audio Classic Collection) (Classic Collection (Brilliance Audio))
[Read by Nadia May]Four very diverse women, all seeking revitalization from the dreary February rains of 1920s London, rent the small medieval castle of San Salvatore, nestled high above the bay of Portofino, Italy. Arriving at San Salvatore, they find it awash with the scent of flowers, its olive groves terracing down to the sun-warmed sea.
Each has her reasons for desiring escape. Mrs. Wilkins and Mrs. Arbuthnot are glad to leave behind their insipid duties and unresponsive husbands. The elderly Mrs. Fisher wishes only to sit in the sun and replay her youthful memories, and the bewitchingly beautiful Lady Caroline Dester desires to have seclusion from all her adoring suitors. Amid the canopies of fragrant wisteria, in the sweet sunshine and melodious silence, fate has some surprises in store for all of them.
