'Queen Lucia' Summary
Queen Lucia is the first in E. F. Benson's beloved 'Mapp and Lucia' series, a delightful and witty social satire set in the English village of Riseholme. The story revolves around Lucia, a woman with a strong sense of self-importance who enjoys being the center of attention and orchestrating the lives of those around her. She rules over the village with an iron fist, guided by her eccentric and devoted assistant, Georgie Pillson. Their reign is challenged by Daisy Quantock, a rival for Lucia's social supremacy. The arrival of a famous prima donna and a string of other eccentric characters, including a guru and a psychic, throws the village into chaos, creating hilarious scenarios as Lucia attempts to maintain her authority and navigate the social minefield she has created.Book Details
