Miss Benson’s Beetle
By Rachel Joyce
This month's read takes us back to 1950, on an adventure of a lifetime for two of the most unlikely accomplices. Take an unexpected journey around the world this month with ‘Miss Benson’s Beetle’ by Rachel Joyce.
Blurb:
It is 1950. In a devastating moment of clarity, Margery Benson abandons her dead-end job and advertises for an assistant to accompany her on an expedition. She is going to travel to the other side of the world to search for a beetle that may or may not exist.
Enid Pretty, in her unlikely pink travel suit, is not the companion Margery had in mind. And yet together they will be drawn into an adventure that will exceed every expectation. They will risk everything, break all the rules, and, at the top of a red mountain, discover their best selves.
