The Enchanted April (Illustrated)

Elizabeth von Arnim's witty romance from the 1920s is about four women from London who rent an Italian Castle "on the shores of the Mediterranean ... furnished for the month of April." The warmth of the Italian spring and its people rejuvenate them in unexpected ways, leading to a series of romantic complications.

"Extraordinarily well-written ... It is witty, human, often very beautiful." —Punch. 

"Brims with magic and laughter." —The Guardian.
