Title: You Will Treasure This Novel
Product review: I discovered Lucia through the television presentation of "Mapp & Lucia". I immediately bought all six novels (despite the unleavened presence of Miss Mapp in one of them). That was fourteen years ago. My copies of these works are now dog-earred, and I'm surprised the ink hasn't faded from excessive eye contact. Elizabeth Mapp embodies the perfect villain, and reading Lucia's triumphs over her is a balm to the soul. The characters of Benson's supporting cast become just as real and vivid as do his leads. One wishes to transport to Tilling of the 20's and 30's and participate in the machinations of the two ladies. I even learned to play bridge to enrich my apprehension of the texture of these novels. Read one! You'll soon be hooked.
