«Abril encantado» is the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, published in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Four English women, tired of their routine, rent a castle on the Italian Riviera for a month and escape the London winter. Under the influence of the Mediterranean spring, they discover their sensitivity and harmony with themselves in a comedy of entanglements with humour and intrigue, where the men also end up getting involved.
Elizabeth von Arnim originally published the work in 1922, in English, under the title The Enchanted April.
Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Annette Beauchamp, was an English novelist. Born in Australia, she married a German aristocrat, and her earliest works are set in Germany. Her first marriage made her Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin and her second Elizabeth Russell, Countess Russell. After her first husband's death, she had a three-year affair with the writer H. G. Wells, then later married Frank Russell, elder brother of the Nobel Prize-winner and philosopher Bertrand Russell. She was a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield. Though known in early life as May, her first book introduced her to readers as Elizabeth, which she eventually became to friends and finally to family.
