In the seaside town of Tilling, Miss Elizabeth Mapp keeps close watch on her neighbors and takes a keen interest in local gossip and social standing. Everyday events become lively contests as she tries to stay one step ahead of the other residents. Published in 1922, the novel introduces one of the central characters in Benson’s Mapp and Lucia series. Benson gently pokes fun at small-town snobbery, one-upmanship, and the importance people attach to appearances. The comedy comes from social maneuvering and character, making it a witty, clean read.
