Queen Lucia

Más información sobre el libro

Set in the early 20th century, the novel follows the life of Queen Lucia, a self-proclaimed social leader in the fictional village of Riseholme. Lucia's attempts to assert her dominance and organize cultural events often lead to humorous conflicts with her neighbors. The story explores themes of social ambition, class dynamics, and the absurdities of genteel society, all delivered with Benson's sharp wit and keen observations of human behavior. The charming setting and eccentric characters add to the delightful satire of provincial life.
