Notes From Your Bookseller
Joyce brings us another moving, quirky adventure novel full of heart, set in the 1950s. Two mismatched women find themselves thrown together on a voyage to New Caledonia, both leaving for very distinct reasons. Margery and Enid soon come to realize that sometimes the most important relationships in our lives come from a different kind of love: friendship. Miss Benson's Beetle has characters that shine with depth, moments both tragic and funny, and a triumphant narrative that keeps you engaged from cover to cover.
