WOMAN & HOME BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR and A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\nShortlisted for the 2021 WILBUR SMITH ADVENTURE WRITING PRIZE | BEST PUBLISHED NOVEL.\n'The perfect escape novel for our troubled times.' PATRICK GALE\nIt 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.\nThis 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.\n'A girl's own adventure...This is Rachel Joyce's best book yet ...Exciting, moving and full of unexpected turns.' THE TIMES\n'Brilliant and elegant and wise...powerful and moving...I can't recommend it enough.'

Amazon.com Review An Amazon Best Book of November 2020: Miss Benson’s Beetle finds two unlikely explorers forging a profound friendship while on the hunt for a rare insect. Joyce’s delightful blend of madcap and moving, with a little mystery thrown in for good measure, is another reminder that the journey is often more life-changing than the destination. —Erin Kodicek, Amazon Book Review
