Lucia Triumphant (Tom Holt's Mapp and Lucia Series Book 2)

In postwar Britain, the quaint town of Tilling is feeling the pull of both the modern world and its Norman past. Elizabeth Mapp-Flint, in yet another bid to wrest power back from her social rival Lucia Pillsonâ€”now the townâ€™s mayorâ€”purchases a motor-car. Hoping to improve her shaky motoring skills in private, she makes a significant tactical error by leaving town. Lucia profits from Elizabethâ€™s absence by putting one of her â€œideasâ€ into action: the embroidery of a tapestry depicting the history of Tilling, one that will surely surpass Bayeuxâ€™s. All Luciaâ€™s subjects are called upon to labour long and hard in its execution. Meanwhile Elizabeth, stranded in Southampton, happens upon a game of Monopoly in her hotel room, andâ€”minus her broken-winged chariotâ€”hurries home to rescue her fellow Tillingites from the tedium of Luciaâ€™s latest worthy endeavor. Who will prove the greater master of Monopoly? What will become of the abandoned tapestry? Is Elizabeth really descended from Norman nobility? Is Mallards haunted, and if so, who saw the ghost firstâ€”Lucia, its current resident, or Elizabeth, its former owner? It is not in the best interests of the Tillingites to allow either woman to prevail for long. For in the end, Lucia and Elizabethâ€™s tactical maneuvering and petty victories and defeats offer the best entertainment in town. Originally published in 1986, Lucia Triumphant is the second of Tom Holtâ€™s officially sanctioned sequels to the hilarious â€œLuciaâ€ novels of E.F. Benson.
