Can the enchantment of San Salvatore win through?
A chance advertisement in The Times, addressed to 'Those who Appreciate Wisteria and Sunshine' is the impetus for a revelatory month for four very different women.
High above the bay on the Italian Riviera stands San Salvatore, a mediaeval castle. Beckoned to this haven are Lotty, Rose, Mrs Fisher and Lady Caroline Dester, each craving escape.
Lulled by the Mediterranean spirit, they gradually shed their skins and discover a harmony each of them has longed for.
