Sobre este áudio
Funny, outrageous, sometimes touching, and perhaps a little bit naughty - in Queen Lucia, E. F. Benson has created not only a wonderful character study in Mrs. Lucas, but a whole village of memorable characters.
Emmeline Lucas, "La Lucia" as she likes to be known, is the social queen of Riseholme, presiding over her subjects and directing their interests in art and culture. But her throne is not secure...there are rumblings of discontent among her friends and her supremacy looks decidedly precarious.
Queen Lucia is outrageous, appealing, sometimes touching, and very, very funny. A joyously affectionate and satirical portrait of how the idle rich of Riseholme, a very English village where snobbery is an art, amuse themselves.
Written in 1920, Queen Lucia is in the public domain.
Produced in association with Spoken Realms.
Public Domain (P)2021 Helen Lloyd AudioResumo da Crítica
"The gentle British accent of narrator Helen Lloyd is a perfect fit for this hilarious story of false gurus, spiritualists, and one woman's desperate attempts to remain the cultural queen of her inconsequential British town. When a dazzling young opera singer makes her appearance in the town of Riseholme, a series of miscommunications leads local social queen Emmeline Lucas to believe her status is at risk. But with her pretentious snobbery, Queen Lucia may be the cause of Emmeline's metaphorical uncrowning. Lloyd's pacing is perfect for the subtle British humor and tongue-in-cheek descriptions of locals. Lloyd's warm tone, bright timbre, and British accent make this audiobook a hilarious delight."
