The Enchanted April

By: Arnim, Elizabeth Von

The exact right words, she presently discovered, after trying various ones about living for others, and prayer, and the peace to be found in placing oneself unreservedly in God's hands-to meet all these words Mrs. Wilkins had other words, incoherent and yet, for the moment at least, till one had had more time, difficult to answer-the exact right words were a suggestion that it would do no harm to answer the advertisement. Non-committal. Mere inquiry. And what disturbed Mrs. Arbuthnot about this suggestion was that she did not make it solely to comfort Mrs. Wilkins; she made it because of her own strange longing for the mediaeval castle.

Did you ever want to get away from it all?

Over the years, some people have become more fun and interesting. On the other hand, some become staunch and passionless. Seems that Lottie picked the latter to marry. One day at her club, she sees an a-d-v-e-r-t-i-s-e-m-e-n-t to rent an Italian villa for a month. She shows this to a friend, Rose, and offers to share the cost. This leads to four women with different backgrounds sharing the cost of a great adventure at the beautiful Italian villa "San Salvatore." The story is well written and was made into a good play, as it has all the elements of understanding and misunderstanding needed for a good play. Even some explosive scenes. There, all the characters, looking for a retreat from life, find each other again, for some the first time. You will find yourself wanting to join in. Do not overlook the two movies with the same title.
