Book club meeting 15

This month we’re reading Miss Benson’s Beetle by Rachel Joyce.

Set in 1950, the book follows Margery Benson as she 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…

We’ll meet for the book club in the shop on Wednesday 3 August @ 7pm – everyone is welcome and we encourage newcomers, just drop us an email at orders@paradesendbooks.co.uk to come along!
