✦ Synopsis
Emmeline Lucas, conocida universalmente por sus amigos como Lucía, reina de Riseholme, es una archiesnob del más alto nivel. Cuando en sus vacaciones alquila una casita junto al mar, cree que ya nadie podrá hacerle sombra, hasta que se cruza en su camino Miss Elizabeth Mapp, figura central de la vida social del pequeño villorrio de Tilling. De cara al mundo, Lucía y Mapp son las mejores y más mundanas anfitrionas, pero en secreto no cejarán en su empeño, por muy bajo que puedan caer, por ganar la feroz batalla por la supremacía. Mapp y Lucía, continuación de las aventuras de la inefable Emmeline Lucas en Reina Lucía, nos presenta toda una panoplia de memorables secundarios: el vicario de Birmingham que habla con acento medieval escocés; la muy riquísima Susan, que no sale de casa sin su Rolls-Royce; Diva, aficionada al cotilleo despiadado; o el ya conocido Georgie Pillson y su tupé, devotos servidores ambos de la reina, que sufre la amenaza de ser destronada. «Los personajes de E. F. Benson son fresquísimos y reales, y, por tanto, atemporales». Nancy Mitford «Pagaríamos todo lo que nos pidieran por los libros de Lucía». Noël Coward, Nancy Mitford y W. H. Auden
