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.

This lovely book wraps you in warmth and wisdom . . . A wonderfully human story about friendship, gardening and the strength we gain from standing up for what we believe in - and why you should never underestimate the power of a warrior woman, no matter how old she is!

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

l enjoyed the emerging friendship of two very different women who had both reached something of a stalemate in their lives. They both brought out strengthsbin each other that were hidden beneath the surface but couldn't have found on their own. The threat to their treasured allotment gave them a focus and made a good storyline with warmth and humour.

Women of a. certain age!

Very simple story intertwined with much medicinal knowledge of plants. I found the story a bit slow to start but it improved and finished well.

Amazing botanical knowledge. Fascinating study of a woman’s emotions
