Description: To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine. Small medieval castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let For the month of April above a bay on the Italian Riviera. Four very different women - - the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins the sad sweet - faced Mrs Arbuthnot the formidable widow Mrs Fisher and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester - - are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each in turn blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring quite unexpected changes occur. The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post - war context a period noted for its wistful and sometimes satiric writings. Von Arnim's novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanisation and the spread of new technologies in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally and physically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and 'enchanted location suggests more than personal recuperation. About THE Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features including expert introductions by leading authorities helpful notes to clarify the text up - to - date bibliographies for further study and much more.
