Lucia in Wartime

Set in 1939 as war looms over Europe, "Lucia in Wartime" finds the charming town of Tilling under the playful rivalry of Lucia and Elizabeth Mapp-Flint, amid rationing and shortages. With Elizabeth leading the local Red Cross and Major Benjy heading the Home Guard, Lucia faces new challenges to her influence, but her quick wit and daring schemes keep the town lively. This authorized sequel to the beloved 'Mapp and Lucia' series by E.F. Benson offers a humorous and engaging glimpse into a town navigating both war and social rivalry.
