Summary:
Barbara Jefford is the hilariously outrageous Lucia with this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation from the novel by E.F. Benson. Lucia may be the uncrowned queen of 1920s provincial society, the Everest of social climbers as well as the most delicious of snobs. In the pastoral serenity from the community of Riseholme, Lucia and her unforgettable cronies confront an Indian expert, spiritualism and a cultural usurper.
E.F. Benson’s wickedly witty satires for the rivalries of English middle-class life have got elevated Lucia’s luxurious exploits to cult comedy status.
