"Lucia in London" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story centers on the character of Lucia Lucas and her husband Pepino as they face the death of Lucia's wealthy aunt. The narrative delves into the social dynamics of their small village community in Riseholme, particularly how Lucia's newfound fortune and plans to spend time in London are met with curiosity and gossip from her neighbors. The opening of the novel begins with the death of Lucia's aunt, which sparks various reactions among the residents of Riseholme. Characters like Daisy Quantock and Georgie Pillson discuss the absurdity of Lucia's apparent grief over a woman she barely remembered. As news of the inheritance breaks, speculation arises regarding how much money Pepino has received and how it will affect Lucia and their social standing. The interactions are filled with humor and societal commentary as the community grapples with themes of wealth, gossip, and the impending changes to their seemingly idyllic life. The intricacies of character relationships and the social milieu set the stage for the unfolding drama as Lucia contemplates her time in London.
