Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Ignored. Overlooked. But they're about to prove everyone wrong...

Janet Pimm is used to being invisible. 70 something, with her beloved allotment for company, she simply doesn't need anyone else.

But when the local council threaten to close the allotments, Janet will do anything she can to try to save them - even enlisting the help of her irritatingly upbeat and interfering neighbour, Bev.

As the two women set off on a journey together, Janet begins to realise that perhaps she isn't so happy to blend into the background after all. And that maybe there's more to Bev than she first thought. As they fight to save the place Janet loves most, both women find their voice again and no one can silence them now...

A story of friendship, community spirit and the importance of connection.

The way friendship grew between unlikely characters

Totally relatable and as a woman who went through ‘the change’ feeling like she was going bonkers could really relate to Bev’s journey.

excellent story

I enjoyed this very much. I think the narrator did a really good job. I could really imagine how the characters looked. I actually laughed out loud at some of the humourous quips!

Fabulous portrayal of strong women

I loved this book, it's so unusual to find stories about women that aren't centred on family children or love.

Excellent narration, exquisite prose

The author is a true wordsmith, such command of language, quite beautiful. The narrator is outstanding, as you’d expect from such an accomplished actor. I was reminded throughout of ‘Miss Benson’s Beetle’. Story is uplifting and well written with characters you grow to love and admire. A great read.
