À propos de cet audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

This is a story that is less about what can be found than the belief it might be found; it is an intoxicating adventure story but it is also about what it means to be a woman and a tender exploration of a friendship that defies all boundaries.

A bit slow in the middle but stick with it. A sweet story with endearing characters, much like Harold Fry by the same author.

Sweet story

I absolutely loved this book. It made me laugh out loud, and it made me cry. If a book doesn’t capture my imagination almost immediately I usually don’t persevere. But that was never going to be a problem with Miss Benson’s Beetle. From the opening lines, to the image I was left with on the last page, it made me want to gobble it up...but not want to let it go. A great read. Thank you Rachel Joyce..and Audible Canada.

A story of friendship and life long bonds. Full of endearing moments, life lessons and life realities that can make or break a person. Healing. It’s a story that is enjoyable and yet the characters have more effect on you that you don’t even realize till the last page is turned.

Juliet Stevenson performs all the characters skillfully and with empathy, bringing them to full life. Rachel Joyce has created two women who seem familiar types at first, but who grow into surprising individuals readers will love and root for in their adventurous quest. Highly recommended, especially for women.

Excellent performance of a very worthwhile story
