Set against the dreary backdrop of a London women's club on a rain-soaked February afternoon, we meet Mrs. Wilkins, a neglected wife who stumbles upon a tantalizing advertisement in The Times: a medieval Italian castle to be let for the month of April. Consumed with thoughts of wistaria and Mediterranean sunshine, Mrs. Wilkins experiences a serendipitous encounter with Mrs. Arbuthnot, a fellow club member.

Both women, unbeknownst to each other, are dreaming of a similar escape. Their shared longing for a reprieve from their monotonous lives sparks an unexpected conversation that plants the seed for a life-changing adventure. 

Tune in to hear how this seemingly mundane moment at a London club sets the wheels in motion for a transformative journey, brimming with introspective revelations and the promise of new beginnings.
