Author Description

An advertisement for a stunning mediaeval castle available to rent on the Italian Riviera draws the attention of four oddly matched women. With the promise of "wisteria and sunshine", shy Mrs. Wilkins, dour Mrs. Arbuthnot, widower Mrs. Fisher, and socialite Lady Caroline Dester are all enchanted and arrive on the serene Mediterranean coast full of hope for a blissful vacation. Initially, there is tension among the women but as the glorious spring days pass, each is gradually changed by the bright weather and unexpected company.
