You will enjoy reading The Enchanted April. Did you know (I just found out myself when I was doing my research on Elizabeth von Arnim’s bio) that the writer/poet Katherine Mansfield was her niece? I love finding those golden nuggets of trivia.

This was super enjoyable, loved every word and all the characters recorded comments. This is a book that must go on my reading list. In fact, I am going to read this again before I close this today. And, I will try to find a way to see the movie(maybe in my own living room) It if interesting that the women were able to bond and find ways to enjoy the place and time together-and I believe all of the characters lived in places other than the place where the story takes place! !
