The Enchanted April

This has been on my TBR for a long time. I just want to start by saying I don't read classics while looking through a modern lens but this is a case of expecting one thing and getting something completely different.
What I expected: In between the Great Wars, four women rent a castle by the sea in Italy and spend a month discovering truths about themselves.
What I actually got: Bored out of my mind and a plot that goes no where until the men show up.
If a reader is looking to experience life in an Italian castle, forget it. All of the action takes place in a garden and about 4 rooms. This could have been set anywhere. Also the staff are thieves because no one gave them a menu to prepare so they source the items themselves (locally) and spent a small fortune. Thieves!
For a hot second I thought it was going to get interesting with some magical realism. Lottie develops the ability to “see into” other characters and Lady Caroline has some super power in which her beauty stuns people into not noticing she is an asshole. But no, that didn't go anywhere.
I should have put the book down when they decided to invite the husbands. Yes, the WHOLE reason they left England to come to Italy was to get away from their husbands. They are there, what? a week and they are writing to them.
Sigh.
This was obviously not for me.
