Gertie MacDowell finished reading Spamalot Diaries by Eric Idle
Gertie MacDowell reviewed The enchanted April by Elizabeth
"A notice in The Times addressed to 'Those Who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine' advertises a …
Only sort of enchanted.
3 stars
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.
