The Enchanted April: VMC

Autor Elizabeth von Arnim Introducere de Sarah Dunant
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 aug 2011
A discreet advertisement in 'The Times', addressed to 'Those who Apppreciate Wisteria and Sunshine...' is the impetus for a revelatory month for four very different women. High above the bay on the Italian Riviera stands San Salvatore, a mediaeval castle. Beckoned to this haven are Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs Arbuthnot, Mrs Fisher and Lady Caroline Dester, each quietly craving a respite. Lulled by the Mediterranean spirit, they gradually shed their skins and discover a harmony each of them has longed for but never known.

First published in 1922 and reminscient of 'Elizabeth and her German Garden', this delightful novel is imbued with the descriptive power and light-hearted irreverence for which Elizabeth von Arnin is renowned.

Recenzii

An enchanting novel, witty, touching and very perceptively written, which will sweep you into wisteria and sunshine
Filled with hazy hills and fragrant flora, the novel is a dreamily sensuous description of the glories of Italian spring
Elizabeth von Armin's most charming novel in every sense: it casts a spell...a sun-washed fairytale
At one level an escapist fantasy, at another a parable about the liberation of the spirit, this delicious confection will work its magic on all.

Notă biografică

Born Mary Annette Beauchamp, Elizabeth von Armin (1866¿1941) was an English novelist best known for the semi-autobiographical dark comedy Vera (1921) and the historical romance The Enchanted April (1922). Armin's literary career would begin at the age of thirty-two, formally introducing herself to the world as "Elizabeth" with her debut satire Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898); she would go on to produce over a dozen works of fiction over the course of forty years as well as a pseudo-autobiography All the Dogs in My Life (1936). In her personal life, Armin was also connected to several influential literary figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth century by either relation or sheer coincidence including Kathleen Mansfield, H.G. Wells, E.M. Forester and Hugh Walpole. With several of her works being adapted for both stage and screen (most notable being 1992's Academy Award-winning The Enchanted April) Armin's literary talent continues to delight and dazzle readers of the modern age.
