Read The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim

Hello Middle-Aged Punk Rock Women!
In July of this year, the New Yorker said that this is a 'quietly subversive novel.' That intrigued me! Let's take a look at this novel written in 1922 and see how it travels to our time!

Beguiling, witty, and gently comedic, The Enchanted April tells the tale of four very different women who escape dreary London for an Italian castle in Portofino, shortly after World War I. Elizabeth von Arnim’s ageless novel compellingly responds to the eternal question of how to achieve happiness in life. An immediate best seller upon its first publication, the story of unlikely female friendship, newfound empowerment, rekindled love, and unexpected romance has been adapted for stage and screen, including a 1991 Oscar-nominated film, and a Tony-nominated play in 2003.
