Description
A witty and engaging comedy of social rivalry between two strong-willed women. Emmeline Lucas and Elizabeth Mapp engage in a battle for supremacy, using their charm and cunning to outmaneuver each other at garden parties, bridge evenings, and charming teas. As they vie for the position of doyenne of Tilling society, these two opponents will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. With their clever plans and devious tactics, they set the stage for a humorous and entertaining tale that explores the complexities of social relationships. This book is a subtle yet brilliant portrayal of life in a small English town during a tumultuous period in history.
