Creators: Loved "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." -- Provided by publisher.
LovedI loved the way that Elizabeth von Arnim made the setting feel like another character. It was so effervescent and vivid and fragrant and you really felt like you were there. I am deeply interested in the way that your chosen environment affects your well-being, and this book explores that brilliantly.
LovedI don't think I loved it quite as much as the other book I've read by Elizabeth von arnam which is the Enchanted April but I did still think it was a very good read
Lovedfor anyone who has read and loved the enchanted april by elizabeth von arnhem like i definitely did i kind of see the narrowboat summer as the summer equivalent to that springtime book
What made the match, strongest first
