Miss Benson's Beetle

Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I knew almost nothing going into this book. I knew it was by a good author and about a woman in England in the 1950s. I had to look back at the title to realize that it literally has beetle (yes, referring to the bug) in its title. Totally worth reading and almost all the more delightful for not having any idea what was coming. Well written and well narrated by the fabulous Juliet Stevenson. I didn't love one element of the ending, but the rest of Joyce's wrap up still made the book a really good one.

Happy reading and happy adventuring--
