'Bits of exultation kept peeping out, and Lucia kept poking them back.' Part of a six-instalment comic book series, Mapp and Lucia, which recounts the eccentric tales of various women in the 1920s and their fight for social status, Trouble for Lucia sees the continued rivalry between the two iconic protagonists, Emmeline Lucas and Elizabeth Mapp. It is the final book in Benson's hugely successful series. Emmeline 'Lucia' Lucas, now Mayor of the small seaside town of Tilling, continues her scheming for social dominance with an inflated sense of self-importance. Before long, she appoints her long-standing rival, Elizabeth Mapp, as her mayoress to put an end to any challenges to Lucia's authority. But it is not just Miss Mapp who proves worthy of concern: a new cast of characters bring fresh chaos into Lucia's life, and her attempts to retain her hold over the community of Tilling. Packed full of Machiavellian social manoeuvring, eccentric town politics and plenty of gossip, the final instalment of Mapp and Lucia is as witty as it is absurd, told with Benson's trademark humour and charm. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Lucy Scott. E.F. Benson (1867 – 1940) was an English novelist, historian and short story writer. A precocious writer, he published his first book while he was at university. He is best known for the successful novel, Dodo (1893), and his collection of satirical and evocative ghost stories.

A magical, intoxicating debut novel, both intimate and epic, that braids the past, present, and future of two lovers bound by the passing of great comets overhead and a coterie of remarkable ancestors. When Róisín and François meet at a remote research base on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica, they are immediately drawn to each other. At first glance, the pair could not be more different. Older by a few years, Róisín, a daughter of Ireland and a peripatetic astronomer, joins the science team to observe the fracturing of a comet overhead. François, the base’s chef, has just left his birthplace in Bayeux, France, for only the second time in his life. Yet the two are connected by devastating tragedy, the longing for a fresh start, and an indelible yet unknown bond that stretches back centuries. Helen Sedgwick carefully unfolds their surprisingly intertwined paths, moving forward and back through time to reveal how these lovers’ destinies have long been united by the skies—the arrival of comets great and small. In telling Róisín and François’s story, Sedgwick illuminates the lives of their ancestors, showing how strangers can be connected and ghosts can be real, and how the way we choose to see the world can be as desolate or as beautiful as the comets themselves. A mesmerizing, skillfully crafted, and emotionally perceptive novel that explores the choices we make, the connections we miss, and the ties that inextricably join our fates, The Comet Seekers reflects how the shifting cosmos unites us all through life, beyond death, and across the whole of time.
