B. J. Harrison Reads The Enchanted April

"... Why, it would really be being unselfish to go away and be happy for a little, because we would come back so much nicer." Lottie and Rose belong to the same London women's club, but they don't know each other very well. They both see the same advertisement for a castle in Italy, which is available for rent for a month. For different reasons, these women want to get away from their husbands for a while and they put out an ad and find two more women in need of vacation. And so, the four vastly different women head to Italy. But when they invite their husbands, the trouble begins... Light-hearted and witty, 'The Enchanted April' is the ultimate comfort read. It has been adapted to stage and film several times, notably in 1991 with the Oscar nominated movie starring Joan Plowright.
