Mrs Wilkins and Mrs Arbuthnot happen to be in the same London club when they both read the advert. The Enchanted April is about four very different women who respond to an advert in The Times addressed to ‘those who appreciate wistaria and sunshine.’ A small mediaeval Italian castle is available to let for the month of April. So I was determined that this April was finally going to be when I read it! Actually, it has been on a bit of a holiday itself as several of my neighbours have borrowed it and all have loved it. So I bought myself a copy, then have to confess it has sat on my bookshelves for quite some time (three years!).
The Enchanted April was suggested by author Sharon Bolton (read her recommendation here) and I remember at the time seeing many people say how wonderful the book was. She has a regular feature called Under the Reader’s Radar where she invites people to recommend a ‘quiet novel’ which may have escaped readers’ attention amidst all the thousands of books which are published each year. I first came across The Enchanted April when I read about it on Janet Emson’s excellent blog From First Page to Last.
