A recipe for happiness: four women, one medieval Italian castle, plenty of wisteria, and solitude as needed.
More recently, the novel has been the inspiration for a major film and a Broadway play..
The Enchanted April was a best-seller in both England and the United States, where it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and set off a craze for tourism to Portofino.
Now, if the same transformation can be worked on their husbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete.
The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don\'t anticipate that the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true natures and reacquaint them with joy.
They find each other--and the castle of their dreams--through a classified ad in a London newspaper one rainy February afternoon.
The women at the center of The Enchanted April are alike only in their dissatisfaction with their everyday lives.
