- My review of Elizabeth von Arnim's 1922 novel The Enchanted April, in which we follow four very different women on a holiday to a medieval castle in Italy.

Seeing an ad about a place in Italy way out of your budget seems to be a timeless thing
#relatable
The characters seem so relatable it's scary 😂 Especially the one who wants to be alone in the garden!
I know right!
Since I am mostly a back list reader I really appreciate these 12 decades of Christmas reviews. I have The Enchanted April on my shelves. Reading it this coming spring sounds like a plan.
Thank you! When I had the idea, before I did the maths, I was worried I was going to have to find a book from the 2020s to talk about, because I don't think I've actually read one yet 😅
It's one of my favorite books to read once a year, it always cheers me up.
Me too
Oh, how i love this book, this author!! Father is also quite good, and i also really liked Vera. Im obsessed lately with the early- mid 20th century , buying up all the British Library Women Writer series, reading gem by gem! BLWW is printing another von Arnim, available in US in June, Intro to Sally. Can't wait.
That sounds like a fun collection, I wasn't aware of it before. Lots of authors I haven't heard of before, I'll have to check some of these out (and maybe drop into the British Library shop next time I'm in London). I do love that period in literature as well.
I love this book (but I love the movie even more!)
Oh I haven't seen it, but the trailer looks promising!
@@SpinstersLibrary It's wonderful - I think you would love it.
Hello Claudia, The enchanted April is one of my favorite books. it was funny, descriptive, and unique. I’ve read another of the authors books I’ve loved “Father” and though it has more plot than the enchanted April, a bit more sadness, I highly recommend it. wonderful review as usual. Aloha friend.
I’d never heard of this before but it sounds wonderful!
This is one of my favourite books.I love Elizabeth von Arnim. I‘m just reading her biography by Karen Usborne
Hi I'm currently going through her books. So far I have read The Caravaners, The Enchanted April and currently Fraulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther. Im half way through it. I absolutely love her books. Very light and fun easy to read. Im a casual reader I have a small collection I will say shes probably my favourite author at the moment she writes the kind of stories I like to read.
I loved this novel, and the movie is gorgeous
A book talks about traveling? YES I AM SAT
It really made me want to go to Italy in the spring.

Loving your 12 Decades of Christmas book reviews. They also seem serene on the surface but show hidden depths. Now this book I have not read, but like other commenters I loved the movie and look forward to see how well the book was adapted. Thank you for your insights.
I started seeing this video. Was intrigued. Found an audiobook edition in my subscription. Started listening, and enjoyed it so much! I'm now 65% into my second novel by this author: Vera. Very different, but just as excellent. Thank you 🙂🙂
Oh wow, you were very quick with that! I definitely want to read more of her work too
This has been popping up on "recommended" lists for me. Now you've made me want to read it!
I read it on the recommendation of a fellow booktuber (Jack from Spread Book Joy).
I positively loved this book. I also liked Father and I still have to read Elizabeth and her German garden which has been languishing in my kindle.
Thanks Claudia. I love that book. Have you read "Father" by this author?
It is different to this one but enjoyable.
I haven't, but I'm sure to explore more of her work!
I love this book. Have you seen the film? It's pretty great, too.
I didn't even know the film existed until I saw it recommended so much in the comments to this video. I'll definitely watch it, the trailer looks great, and what a cast.
Please read Vera by her. It’s disturbing, quite real, and very good.
Noted!
This book is *playful.* It has social satire that makes you think, yes, and it has humor, but the entire time the author is playing with you. One of the loveliest playful things the author does is have a character say something, which the narrator immediately repeats word-for-word, usually in a very different tone is often with exactly the opposite meaning. It really is a quiet tour-de-force.
