3. San Salvatore
Lotty and Rose bask in the delicate warmth and beautiful fragrance of San Salvatore. Stars Pippa Nixon and Lyndsey Marshall.
Lotty and Rose begin to bask in the delicate warmth and beautiful fragrance of San Salvatore, but Mrs Fisher is still finding things to try her patience and Scrap still wants to hide herself away.
An advertisement in The Times, addressed to 'Those who Appreciate Wisteria and Sunshine' is the impetus for a revelatory month for four very different women. High above the bay on the Italian Riviera stands San Salvatore, a mediaeval castle. Beckoned to this haven are Lotty, Rose, Mrs Fisher and Lady Caroline Dester, each craving escape. Lulled by the Mediterranean spirit, they gradually shed their skins and discover a harmony each of them has longed for.
Elizabeth von Arnim’s novel is dramatised by Vivienne Allen.
