Unabridged Audiobook
Delightful, frothy comedy, some of the observations of character are hilarious, and despite Elizabeth Von Arnim having written the book in early 1920’s still fresh, surprisingly so, a period piece but to me not much dated. It all ends well, not sure totally convincingly but why not: the seemingly silliest of the characters, with ebullient good will and belief in the healing powers of happiness ( in her mind exuded by the Palazzo where all the characters eventually converge) overrides all sorts of human frailties and craven behaviour. The book has made me want to (1) see the film and (2) stay in a palazzo by the Mediterranean.
