Commentary Conducive To Books Mapp and Lucia (The Mapp & Lucia Novels #4)

Subtly brilliant comedy of social rivalry between the wars. Emmeline Lucas (known universally to her friends as Lucia) is an arch-snob of the highest order. In Miss Elizabeth Mapp of Mallards Lucia meets her match. Ostensibly the most civil and genteel of society ladies, there is no plan too devious, no plot too cunning, no depths to which they would not sink, in order to win the battle for social supremacy. Using as their deadly weapons garden parties, bridge evenings and charming teas, the two combatants strive to outcharm each other - and the whole of Tilling society - as they vie for the position of doyenne of the town.

Crit Of Books Mapp and Lucia (The Mapp & Lucia Novels #4)

I expected a little more from this book, but that's not to say I didn't like it. These books are really well known and loved, but I'm totally new to them. (Reminds me of a friend who as a child thought she had discovered a very unknown and small band called "The Beatles" of which she must be one of a few elite fans).It centers around Emmeline Lucas (Lucia) and Elizabeth Mapp. Lucia is new in town and Mapp can't stand for her to become the center of social life in small town Tilling. These two

Perhaps my favorite series of all that I try to reread once a year. Endlessly hilarious and engrossing, even though all the jokes are frequently repeated (however, they become exponentially funnier each time they pop up) and nothing much happens. But because everyone in the book finds the minutia of their everyday (wealthy and rather pampered) existence so fascinating, it becomes of immense import to the reader as well. I remember how upset I originally was when Lucia and Georgie left Riseholme



A charming, witty novel from 1935. Lucia, a beautiful young widow, moves to a Sussex village long dominated by the spinster Miss Mapp; their battle for social supremacy pulsates with refined vindictiveness thatno shame heredelighted me, several times to the point of squealing aloud. Amid the hilarity, I thought differently and deeply about things like nicknaming, pet expressions and "home". I loved this a thousand times more than expected.

The Lucia series should be read by anyone who is a fan of Jane Austen or Angela Thirkell!Nov/Dec 2017 reread: I think that this is my favorite in the series. It would perhaps not be as funny to someone who hadn't read the previous books but the ongoing manoevers between Lucia & Elizabeth Mapp in order to gain social ascendency in the village of Tilling are hilarious as are the reactions of the villagers.

After watching the really rather fantastic series, the thought of reading the book it was based on had me a bit dubious as to whether it'd ruin one or the other for me. How wrong I was, if ever there was a perfect adaption to television from such a well written, witty and charming book, this is it. Mapp & Lucia is sorely under appreciated in both forms, and I honestly couldn't recommend it more, especially to those who enjoy other similar series in the genre such as Jeeves & Wooster.

Meh. No stakes, no characters to love/love to hate, and only moderate joke quality and density. In theory, this has my name written all over it, but turned out to be kind of a slog.
