"Der Gärtner ist seit einem Jahr hier und hat mir regelmäßig gekündigt, bis jetzt ist er aber zum Bleiben bewegt worden. Ich glaube nicht, daß er viel vom Gärtnern versteht, zumindest aber kann er graben und gießen." Also muß Elizabeth selbst Hand anlegen und den verwilderten Garten auf dem Landgut ihres Mannes in Schuß bringen. Der Zauber der Natur wird für sie zum Lebenselixier. Mit spitzer Feder und britischem Humor beschreibt die junge Frau alle Eindringlinge in ihr Idyll: den „Grimmigen" (ihren Mann), eine „beste" Freundin mit ihren „guten" Ratschlägen und eine Engländerin, die offenbar gar nichts nach Hause zieht ...

A recipe for happiness: four women, one medieval Italian castle, plenty of wisteria, and solitude as needed.The women at the center of The Enchanted April are alike only in their dissatisfaction with their everyday lives. They find each other—and the castle of their dreams—through a classified ad in a London newspaper one rainy February afternoon. The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don’t anticipate that the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true natures and reacquaint them with joy. Now, if the same transformation can be worked on their husbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete.The Enchanted April was a best-seller in both England and the United States, where it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and set off a craze for tourism to Portofino. More recently, the novel has been the inspiration for a major film and a Broadway play.

Elizabeth betror sin dagbog alt, både frustrationer og glæder. Igennem et år følger vi den unge frue, som har sat sig for at lave den forsømte have på sit preussiske gods om til et paradis på jord. Med masser af gåpåmod, og absolut ingen erfaring, kaster hun sig ud i arbejdet. Men med mand, børn, uforstående tjenestefolk – herunder en vanvittig gartner, en uduelig kohyrde og en obsternasig guvernante – samt ikke at forglemme gæster, der nægter at tage hjem igen, er det ikke nogen let opgave.​Elizabeth von Arnims debutroman veksler mellem melankolsk poesi og sprudlende satire. Dels en charmerende kærlighedserklæring til havearbejdet med alle dets overraskelser, dels et selvportræt af en kvinde, som ikke rigtig kan finde sig til rette, hverken som preussisk herregårdsfrue, veninde eller mor – og da slet ikke som hustru til Den harmfulde Mand.​Elizabeth og den tyske have udkom i 1898 og foreligger nu for første gang på dansk, oversat af Jens Pedersen.

Elizabeth von Arnim’s novel "Elizabeth and Her German Garden" was first published in 1898. It was instantly popular and has gone through numerous reprints ever since.This story is the main character Elizabeth’s diary, where she relates stories from her life, as she learns to tend to her garden. Whilst the novel has a strongly autobiographical tone, it is also very humorous and satirical, due to Elizabeth’s frequent mistakes and her idiosyncratic outlook on life. She comments on the beauty of nature and shares her view on society, looking down on the frivolous fashions of her time and writing "I believe all needlework and dressmaking is of the devil, designed to keep women from study."The book is the first in a series about the same character. Elizabeth von Arnim (1866–1941), née Mary Annette Beauchamp, was a British novelist. Born in Australia, her family returned to England when she was three years old; and she was Katherine Mansfield’s cousin. She was first married to a Prussian aristocrat, the Graf von Arnim-Schlagenthin, and later to the philosopher Bertrand Russel’s older brother, Frank, whom she left a year later. She then had an affair with the publisher Alexander Reeves, a man thirty years her junior, and with H.G. Wells. Von Arnim moved a lot, living alternatively in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, before dying of influenza in South Carolina during the Second War. Elizabeth von Arnim was an active member of the European literary scene, and entertained many of her contemporaries in her Chalet Soleil in Switzerland. She even hired E. M. Forster and Hugh Walpole as tutors for her five children. She is famous for her half-autobiographical, satirical novel "Elizabeth and her German Garden" (1898), as well as for "Vera" (1921), and "The Enchanted April" (1922).

Four very different women, all wanting to escape cold and dreary London for different reasons, come together to share a month's holiday in an Italian medieval castle. There’s timid Lotty Wilkins, terrified of her domineering husband; sober and religious Rose Arbuthnot; rigid and judgemental Mrs Fisher; and the breathtakingly beautiful but disillusioned and unhappy Lady Caroline Dester. They are lured to the castle by the advertised 'wisteria and sunshine', but they end up finding there so much more than they had bargained for. The place transforms them and their lives are unexpectedly changed. Von Arnim's story of their metamorphosis under the Italian sun is warm, witty, intelligent, and as enchanting as the title suggests.Elizabeth von Arnim (1866–1941), née Mary Annette Beauchamp, was a British novelist.
