Mrs. Ames

Set in the quaint village of Riseholme, the story revolves around the affluent residents who engage in gossip and compete for the title of the ultimate hostess. E. F. Benson masterfully explores the trivialities of high society with his signature wit and humor. Originally published in 1912, this edition includes a new introductory biography of the author, making it a delightful addition for fans of the 'Mapp and Lucia' series.
