Lucia's Progress and Trouble for Lucia are the fifth and sixth novels in E. F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia series. They chronicle the ongoing battles of his most famous and irrepressible characters - Mrs. Lucia Lucas and Miss Elizabeth Mapp. Both women have been used to dominating their social circles; the idyllic seaside village of Tilling proves too small for both of them. Lucia is the more deadly of the two, with lofty morals, pretentious tastes, and a lust for power, while Mapp is younger, more forceful, and able to terrify her opponents into submission. While both are hypocritical snobs, Lucia is animated by splendid delusions of grandeur and Mapp by insatiable curiosity and chronic rage; their epic collisions rock their small society and provide the narrative engines for Benson's farcical masterpieces.

Lucia Lucas, the eternally effervescent dowager, continues to consternate and beguile friends and antagonists alike in the English countryside where she becomes embroiled in high finance, buried treasure, politics, and love

St. Lucia’s 2008 Article IV Consultation underlies that progress has been made in reducing fiscal imbalances, yet public debt and debt servicing payments continue to rise. Tourism accounts for more than three-fourths of exports, and the import content of both consumption and foreign direct investment is high. Although the share of value added from the traditionally dominant agriculture sector has declined sharply in recent decades, crop exports support the incomes of much of the country’s large rural population.

From the strange adventures of Oona Neeci… A New England family, with roots older than the trees from which the ill-famed Salem witches were hanged, grieves for the man whose lost life strengthened their love for him. Moving quickly to fill the void left by the family’s sudden loss is Oona Neeci, the brilliant, young metaphysicist and sorceress. Oona’s abrupt relocation puts into motion an unforeseen struggle among three powerful witches, and a desperate effort to prevent what has already happened. Written with passion and care, Lucia’s Revenge is exciting, clever, and earnestly constructed, at times poetic and lyrical, with intense characters and a strong, well-paced plot. Lucia’s Revenge offers a new voice of captivating, unfiltered adult fiction
