About this title

Review

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. ('The Daily Telegraph')

From the Back Cover

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BRENDA BOWEN

‘Brims with magic and laughter’ Guardian

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.
