Queen Lucia by E.F. Benson

3.0

“The hours of the morning between breakfast and lunch were the time which the inhabitants of Riseholme chiefly devoted to spying on each other.”

The queen bee of a small gossipy England town is threatened when an opera singer moves to town. She hatches plots to prove her dominance, all as the bit players struggle with charlatans, thinning hair, athletic rugged sisters, and servants.
