Diva Plaistow
Christened Godiva but known to her friends as merely 鈥楧iva.鈥�
A thrifty, rather clumsy widow, she is Mapp’s best friend…and adversary. She poses no threat to Mapp’s social dominance but ‘dearest Diva’ is invaluable as the source and disseminator of local gossip.
Dr Dobbie, please come quick, my canary鈥檚 having a fit!"
She is both ingenious and parsimonious and a devoted follower of the latest fashions and fads. If there’s an extreme diet or dress pattern to be had then Diva’s sure to be indulging it; if Mapp doesn’t steal it first!
