It was a cold afternoon in February. The streets of London were wet and dirty. Mrs Wilkins was standing at the window of her club. Her clothes were dull and old-fashioned. Mrs Wilkins looked down at the crowded street. It was raining again.
Four women answer an advertisement in The Times newspaper. They leave cold, rainy Lomdon and go on holiday to
San Salvatore-an Italian castle by the sea. They are bored with their daily lives, but visiting castle changes them. They leave their husbands, their friends and their unhapiness behind in England.(where they live)
In Italy, they find enchantment, hapiness and love.
