The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim, read aloud by EmilyGrace Jones.  This is one of my favorite books. Our four heroines (you'll meet two in this first chapter) could not be more different and yet they are all connected by the same thing: the drudge of everyday life has worn them down. Their true selves are so hidden by junk, fears and trivial annoyances that yell so loud that it's easy to take them too seriously. And so, in short, they are in a quandary - a perfect setting for miraculous transformation to take place. But before any of the miraculous can visit, it is time for a rude awakening, or really, not as much rude as a quiet, enticing Italian breeze. Who knew a simple breeze could have such an impact?!? - EmilyGrace
