The first of Benson's beloved satirical novels about Emmeline Lucas, who rules her small English village with an iron hand
Helpful Score: 1
England between the wars is a place of calm ans leisure for the rich but Lucia is determined to live a different type of life,,,very humorous book. The characters are fascinating
Classic British comedy of manners set between the World Wars, this book exposes the rift between classes while presenting a bygone age. Unfortunately, at least in this volume, Lucia is not very likeable.
