A review by trin
Queen Lucia by E.F. Benson
3.0
Mystery box book #11!
A painfully accurate portrait of a bunch of wealthy English provincial fools. I didn't quite click with Benson's writing style as much as I expected to -- I think I was expecting something a bit more Wodehousian; this is much more subtle and dry -- but I can't fault his precise viciousness. Several times I was tempted to shout "GET A JOB!" at the pages of this book.
