Meet Mapp and Lucia—two of the most unpleasant, disgraceful women you're ever likely to encounter, in E.F. Benson's carefully observed tale of 1930s village life and social ranking Emmeline Lucas (known as Lucia to her friends) is emerging from mourning following the death of her husband. Pretentious, snobbish, and down-right devious, she feels her hometown of Riseholme offers no challenges and decides to vacation in the town of Tilling. She rents "Mallards" from Miss Mapp. The two women clash immediately. Miss Mapp is used to being top of the social ranking in Tilling, and there is no way she is going to let a vulgar outsider claim her position. So begins a battle of one-upmanship, peppered with queenly airs, ghastly tea parties, and unnerving bridge evenings as the two combatants attempt to out-do each other to win social supremacy. The pompous Lucia and malignant Mapp are characters you will love to hate, wonderfully penned by E.F. Benson. Darkly comic and witty, it is soon to be a new BBC series written by Steve Pemberton.… (més)

Dare I say to new readers not to commence with this, the eponymous and most famous novel of the series? Mapp and Lucia is still an amusing frolic, but I think it isn't quite as funny as the previous three, and additionally it rather assumes the reader's knowledge of the worlds of both Mapp and Lucia, who meet in this novel but have had full lives of their own in the previous ones. (Mostly in terms of character touches; the Padre, Daisy Quantock, and all of the minor characters are hilarious here if you know them already.)

Not to say you won't enjoy this, but commence with Queen Lucia or Miss Mapp and move through the series; it will be a much more satisfying experience. ( )

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.

Had to return to the library before I'd really got into this book, as people had requested it after the first episode of the series was shown on TV. I did end up watching the TV series but like the book I thought "Who cares about these people and their irritating contortions over insignificant social standings?" ( )

This is a fun read however the machinations of two dueling divas isn't strictly everyone's cuppa. While it's enjoyable it's also certain that we can be glad that life is hopefully less like this or it is for me. Or perhaps I'm quaint Irene? I'd fancy that. This book is worth a go, definitely.

Just realized that this trifle was written by a man. Suddenly, it's gotten about 25% better. Just assumed that "E. F." was a way of hiding a female author. Won't Mapp just love correcting me now? ( )

Though it was nearly a year since her husband's death, Emmeline Lucas (universally known to her friends as Lucia) still wore the deepest and most uncompromising mourning.
It is a sad comment on the English nation, no doubt, that it persists in regarding many narratives of humiliation, shame and cruelty as delightful and amusing entertainments, suitable to be given to children. (Introduction)
