![]() The very genuine and open Lottie Wilkins, often muddled and awkward in her speech, has been married only a few years, but she and her husband are rubbing each other the wrong way as the novel progresses, her intuition into her new friends' feelings and needs plays a major role. They also reluctantly take on the waspish, elderly Mrs Fisher and the stunning but aloof Lady Caroline Dester to defray expenses. They find some common ground in that both are struggling to make the best of unhappy marriages. Mrs Arbuthnot and Mrs Wilkins, who belong to the same ladies' club but have never spoken, become acquainted after reading a newspaper advertisement for a small medieval castle on the Mediterranean to be let furnished for the month of April. The novel follows four dissimilar women in 1920s England who leave their rainy, grey environments to go on holiday in Italy. ![]() Critic Terence de Vere White credited The Enchanted April with making the Italian resort of Portofino fashionable. Von Arnim wrote, and set, the book in the 15th-century Castello Brown. The work was inspired by a month-long holiday to the Italian Riviera, probably the most widely read (as an English and American best seller in 1923 1]) and perhaps the lightest and most ebullient of her novels. ![]() The Enchanted April is a 1922 novel by British writer Elizabeth von Arnim. ![]()

I couldn’t wait to find out all of the answers to the things that didn’t add up (how did Nathan really die? What was the link between the Russian mob and Nathan? Etc etc). ![]() The plot was interesting and very well written (much more so than 50 Shades of Grey). Just a warning though: if you’re reading the book or plan to, don’t keep reading! This is the fourth book in the Crossfire series and it continues the love story between Gideon and Eva. So I just finished reading Captivated by You by Sylvia Day. Pretty poor effort on my behalf! I really need to get a move on, as I hate crowds and really don’t want to put myself through the 24hour Christmas shopping trade!

The great thing about The Host is that the female protagonist is so unexpected. If you don’t want to know what happens in the story, you should stop reading now. I believe Meyer learned her writing craft while writing the Twilight Series and then put her newfound skills to good use when she wrote her two later books. The Host is in a completely different class. If you previously read Twilight, you may be reluctant to risk picking up The Host. I know Meyer received much criticism for the perceived poor quality of her prose, but I wish she would write more books. It remained so until 2016 when Meyer published The Chemist. ![]() After I read The Host, it immediately became my favorite book.
