Miss Benson's Beetle review

To be completely honest here, I was under the impression that the beetle in question was actually a VW, not, you know, a beetle! So there was a touch of cognitive dissonance when I got past the first chapter.

I did like this quite a bit, I thought the post-war description of Britain was very well done and I loved the contrast with the tropical island Miss Benson lands on. I also liked that although she had faults, and was not described as attractive at all, that had nothing to do with the story, it was just how Miss Benson was.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants a well-written novel to curl up with for an afternoon.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion
