This delicious confection will work its magic on all
Daily Telegraph
Brims with magic and laughter
Guardian
The Enchanted April sounds as if it would be an appallingly cloying cream puff of a fairy tale, but that would be to ignore that the author habitually kept a pot of lemon juice mixed with vinegar beside her ink-pot. With this bracing element there is additionally what can only be called a feast of flowers, hanging from every wall and pouring scent over the company.
Times Literary Supplement
A genuine feeling for color and for beauty
New York Times
A warm and uplifting book. (Very different from the kind I write!)...I remain in awe of a writer who can produce an enthralling story out of so little. When I'm plotting my books, I think of Von Arnim, and try to balance the dark with some lighter characterisation.
S.J. Bolton
An enchanting novel, witty, touching and very perceptively written, which will sweep you into wisteria and sunshine
Santa Montefiore
Elizabeth von Armin's most charming novel in every sense: it casts a spell...a sun-washed fairytale
Observer
Filled with hazy hills and fragrant flora, the novel is a dreamily sensuous description of the glories of Italian spring
Adam Nicolson, Mail on Sunday
A perfect summer read – light, romantic and witty
Helena Gumley-Mason, 4 stars, Lady
one of the most enchanting books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading
Reading Matters
an absolute treat
Kate Saunders, Saga Magazine
This one is an enduring classic and it isn’t hard to see why – it’s full of delicious descriptions of Italy in April…and hope sliced through with wry observations. Pick this up if you’re looking for a pick-me-up while we wait for the sun to hit.
