Inhaltsangabe

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BRENDA BOWENMrs Wilkins and Mrs Arbuthnot, cowed and neglected by their husbands, make a daring plan: they will have a holiday. Leaving a drab and rainy London one April and arriving on the shores of the Mediterranean, they discover a flower-filled paradise of beauty, warmth and leisure. Joined by the beautiful Lady Caroline and domineering Mrs Fisher, also in flight from the burdens of their daily lives, the four women proceed to transform themselves and their prospects.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"An enchanting novel, witty, touching and very perceptively written, which will sweep you into wisteria and sunshine" (Santa Montefiore)

"Elizabeth von Armin's most charming novel in every sense: it casts a spell...a sun-washed fairytale" (Observer)

"A warm and uplifting book. (Very different from the kind I write!)...I remain in awe of a writer who can produce an enthralling story out of so little. When I'm plotting my books, I think of Von Arnim, and try to balance the dark with some lighter characterisation." (S.J. Bolton)

"Filled with hazy hills and fragrant flora, the novel is a dreamily sensuous description of the glories of Italian spring" (Adam Nicolson Mail on Sunday)

"This delicious confection will work its magic on all" (Daily Telegraph)

Contraportada

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BRENDA BOWEN

‘Brims with magic and laughter’ Guardian

A notice in The Times addressed to ‘Those Who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine’ advertises a ‘small medieval Italian castle to be let for the month of April’. Four very different women take up the offer: Mrs Wilkins and Mrs Arbuthnot, both fleeing unappreciative husbands; beautiful Lady Caroline, sick of being ‘grabbed’ by lovesick men; and the imperious, ageing Mrs Fisher. On the shores of the Mediterranean, beauty, warmth and leisure weave their spell, and nothing will ever be the same again.
