Helpful Score: 2
Margary Benson, a 47 year-old science teacher, abandons her job and sets out on an expedition to search for the golden beetle of New Caledonia. She hires Enid Pretty to be her assistant. Both ladies are strong, flawed, quirky characters who save each other a few times during the trip. It is a story about their friendship and how it grows. Uplifting and delightful, the story has many humorous and entertaining parts. I have read all of Rachel Joyce's books and love her writing. I look forward to reading her next book. I would highly recommend this to those who love travel and adventure. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for a free copy for an honest review.
