Description
In postwar London, Margery Benson abandons her stifling routine and sets off on an extraordinary expedition to New Caledonia in search of a legendary golden beetle. Her unlikely companion, the flamboyant and seemingly ill-suited Enid Pretty, transforms the journey into an adventure neither woman could have anticipated. As they face unfamiliar landscapes, unexpected dangers, and the limitations imposed by society, their growing friendship becomes a story of courage, resilience, and self-discovery. Warm, witty, and deeply humane, the novel celebrates the liberating power of taking a second chance on life.
