Beetle

Rachel Joyce

Rachel Joyce's new book, Mrs Benson's Beetle is out today. Last time she had a new book published, I was able to go to a signing event (Waterstones Tottenham Court Road), listen to an extract, and get a signed and dedicated copy. I even took along a copy of Queenie, and we had a little chat about the ending, me admitting to how upsetting I found it.

Book launches have moved online for the time being, and so I joined a Zoom event today to listen to Rachel talking with her husband, from home, about the new book. My signed copy should be coming in the post some time soon.
