Emmeline Lucas
Known to one and all as 鈥楲ucia鈥�, she is Queen of her own domain, the very Tilling-like village of Riseholme.
After an uncompromising year of widowhood, Lucia’s decided to re-enter society, seeking fresh challenges and a summer’s lease of Miss Mapp’s home ‘Mallards’.
I believe Tilling is seething with intrigue. But we shall see. We shall see."
Vain, selfish, imperious, glorious, Lucia is a clear and present danger to Miss Mapp. A keen pianist, speaker of quaint Italian phrases and host of the latest fashions, in short a breath of fresh air for Tilling. Lucia may not be entirely the mistress of culture she appears to be (maintaining high standards is a daily effort which she cleverly disguises) yet she’s head and shoulders ahead of Mapp in outward taste and delicacy. More importantly, she’s her own woman who will charm and bully her way into the Tillingites' lives. Let battle commence!
