Miss Benson, 46 years old, single. She doesn't get along well with humans, but she loves studying small, inconspicuous, and even screaming beetles. In her mind, the gods existed in the insectarium of the Natural History Museum. Her lifelong dream is to find the golden beetle her father once told her about. Enid, 26, has all the qualities of a blonde beauty. She is happy, caring, and chatty, as if silence and depression never come. She has no grand dreams, she just wants to be a mother. "We are looking for an expedition assistant to go to the other side of the earth. All expenses are included." Miss Benson and Enid, two seemingly unrelated women, came together and were linked by fate. They let us see that the friendship between women is so bright and powerful. Without each other, it is impossible for them to realize their dreams, nor to break through the difficulties in life, and finally become themselves.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of my sister, who, like Enid in the book, was a happy, caring person. I think every woman can find something of herself in this book. It teaches us to be brave enough to pursue our dreams, no matter how small they may seem to others. I was also touched by the friendship between Miss Benson and Enid, which made me understand the importance of friends. I recommend this book to all female friends, it will bring you strength and courage.
Margery: A beetle may be insignificant, even a little stubby and clumsy, but it has an indestructible will to travel around the world.
Enid: If I had one day to live, I would give up on my dreams and just want to hold someone else's hand.
This book is both witty and touching. Many times it makes people tremble with excitement and make them want to cheer. It makes us re-examine our inner desires and want to live a hearty life!
