To Those who Appreciate Wisteria and Sunshine. Small medieval Italian Castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be Let Furnished for the month of April. This small advertisement sparks something long dormant in the reluctant hearts of two downcast London women – the possibility of happiness.

Meet Mrs. Wilkins and Mrs. Arbuthnot. Both are churchgoers, and very good, dutiful wives – they do everything that is expected of them. And they are both incredibly unhappy.

Through this elegant novel, we see them work through their disparate struggles and rise from the ashes, with the help of wisteria and sunshine.
