A classic novel in which Lucia Lucas presides over the social scene in the village of Riseholme. Her unspoken sovreignty comes under threat from an Indian guru, a Russian medium and a celebrated opera singer.Benson's series of novels featuring Mapp and Lucia contain humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly) upper-middle-class British people in the 1920s and 1930s, vying for social prestige and "one-upmanship" in an atmosphere of extreme cultural snobbery.
