520    Four very different women, all wanting to escape cold and 
       dreary London for different reasons, come together to 
       share a month's holiday in an Italian medieval castle. 
       There’s timid Lotty Wilkins, terrified of her domineering 
       husband; sober and religious Rose Arbuthnot; rigid and 
       judgemental Mrs Fisher; and the breathtakingly beautiful 
       but disillusioned and unhappy Lady Caroline Dester. They 
       are lured to the castle by the advertised 'wisteria and 
       sunshine', but they end up finding there so much more than
       they had bargained for. The place transforms them and 
       their lives are unexpectedly changed. Von Arnim's story of
       their metamorphosis under the Italian sun is warm, witty, 
       intelligent, and as enchanting as the title 
       suggests.Elizabeth von Arnim (1866–1941), née Mary Annette
       Beauchamp, was a British novelist. Born in Australia, her 
       family returned to England when she was three years old; 
       and she was Katherine Mansfield’s cousin.  She was first 
       married to a Prussian aristocrat, the Graf von Arnim-
       Schlagenthin, and later to the philosopher Bertrand 
       Russel’s older brother, Frank, whom she left a year later.
       She then had an affair with the publisher Alexander Reeves,
       a man thirty years her junior, and with H.G. Wells. Von 
       Arnim moved a lot, living alternatively in the United 
       Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, before dying of 
       influenza in South Carolina during the Second War. 
       Elizabeth von Arnim was an active member of the European 
       literary scene, and entertained many of her contemporaries
       in her Chalet Soleil in Switzerland. She even hired E. M. 
       Forster and Hugh Walpole as tutors for her five children. 
       She is famous for her half-autobiographical, satirical 
       novel "Elizabeth and her German Garden" (1898), as well as
       for "Vera" (1921), and "The Enchanted April" (1922).
