The Rise of Lucia

Dan Edwards

Set in a private Kensington hotel in 1900, The Rise of Lucia follows the nineteen-year-old Emmeline Smith - before she became the formidable Lucia - and her mother, who have taken rooms with a view to marrying Emmeline off well. Among the guests they find themselves entangled with: a harried hotelier, a cast of eccentrics, and an enterprising young man with a new Reducing Cordial for them all to try.

A prequel to E.F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia series.
