QR code
"Queen Lucia" by E. F. Benson is a comic novel written in 1920. It introduces Emmeline "Lucia" Lucas, the self-appointed social queen of the fictional village of Riseholme, who dominates her community through affected culture and pretension. When rivals emerge—including a mysterious Indian guru, a Russian medium, and a genuine opera diva—Lucia must fight to maintain her social supremacy. This social satire skewers the idle rich and their absurd pursuits with ruthless
comedy and affectionate mockery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
