"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." -- Provided by publisher.

Only sort of enchanted.

This book started off a bit slow but got going once the four main characters were in Italy. Of course by then the ending was clear as day but I was still wondering how it would all happen, which it does. That said, the plot came a cropper by the end with each character's development becoming progressively more unbelievable and I was left bewildered on the last page and pondering whether, in real life, such personal changes would be permanent.

Overall, not a bad book but not one for the favourite pile.
