Miss Benson's Beetle (2020)
Book
Published
A dissatisfied schoolteacher sets out for New Caledonia in search of a beetle, accompanied by an assistant who seems an improbable fit. Margery and Enid have to learn one another through the practical difficulties of an expedition. The comedy comes from their contrasting temperaments; trust arrives through what each is prepared to do for the other. Both have painful histories, and neither exists simply to improve her companion.
