Man of Wrath

Here is Mary Annette Beauchamp, Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin, Countess Russell and, to her readers, Elizabeth von Armin.

She wrote Enchanted April and Elizabeth and Her German Garden, among other boooks. She was an Australian married to a German, whom she called The Man of Wrath. When he visited her in Italy, she showed him her prized lilacs and all he said was that they needed a thorough pruning.
