The Enchanted April is Elizabeth von Arnim's most beloved novel, a story about four women - all strangers - who step away from their ordinary lives for a month in Italy and rediscover themselves, their independence, and the happiness they'd stopped expecting. First published in 1922, von Arnim's masterpiece appears here in a new Pocketbook Classics edition, complete with recipes inspired by the novel. This unabridged version invites readers to do what the story itself encourages: slow down, spend time with those who matter most, and linger a little longer.
