Book summary

In London, one rainy February, two women who do not know each other read the same small advertisement: a little medieval castle is to let for the month of April, in Italy, by the sea, among the wisteria and the sunshine. To share the cost, they join forces with two strangers, a young aristocrat and an old lady.

Far from London and their habits, each of them slowly changes in the Italian light. A radiant novel full of humour, which makes you want to travel.

Written in a light, lively style, it is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

一個雨天,一則令人神往的小廣告。「致喜愛紫藤與陽光的人。地中海岸邊一座義大利中世紀小城堡,四月整月附家具出租。」。

The world of the book

1920年代初的義大利海岸。第一次世界大戰剛剛結束。倫敦的冬天漫長而灰暗。有能力的英國人紛紛南下尋找陽光。小說中的城堡以一座真實的城堡為原型,它俯瞰著熱那亞附近的小漁港波托菲諾。這本書的成功讓這個村莊聲名遠播。
