katymaryreads 's review for:

The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim
3.75
emotional hopeful lighthearted reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed this, but not as much as I wanted to. The premise of a month in the spring in a castle in Italy sounds wonderful, but I was frustrated by the behaviour and choices of pretty much all the characters at some point in the story. Overall, though, it was a good read.
