{"product_id":"2940015468151","title":"Queen Lucia","description":"Meet Emmeline Lucas, known to her friends as Lucia, the undisputed social leader of the town of Riseholme, and her husband Phillip, writer of prose poems. Risholme is also home to Georgie Pillson, who plays duets with Lucia and collects bibelots, Daisy Quantock, who has discovered an Indian Guru who will teach her meditation, Olga Bracely, the operatic soprano, and Signor Cortese composer of operas.E. F. Benson's genius was to create an array of characters, all of whom (with one exception) are completely ghastly people - and yet at the same time are entirely sympathetic. A wonderful read.  The first in Benson's delicious series on English village society, full of finely drawn, colorful characters and their petty social triumphs and jealousies in an idyllic world where everyone has plenty of money and position is all. Hilarious all through, but Georgie's Christmas party is especially fun reading.","brand":"Dons Ebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121215717616,"sku":"2940015468151","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015468151_p0.jpg?v=1763628830","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015468151","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
