The Invisible Women's Club
By Helen Paris
Genre:-Women's Contemporary Fiction/Friendships
Pages:-336
Publisher:-Doubleday
Blurb:-A joyous and refreshing read about the power of unlikely friendships, women's voices, and a reminder that it's never too late to find joy and meaning later in life.
 One woman's journey from invisibility to being seen once more, as she strives to save her beloved community allotment. perfect for fans of The Lido and Keeper of Stories.
 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 that she first thought. As the bulldozers roll in and 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, female lives post-menopause, community spirit and the importance of connection and finding your voice.

My Review:-If you ever wanted to know anything about medicinal plants and herbs, Janet Pimm is the one to ask. Janet spends many hours a day at her allotment, that is until the council condemns the allotment as they have discovered knotweed. Janet is convinced that the council have something to do with the knotweed being there. Janet along with the other allotment owners, especially Bev decide to take on the council. With the help from social media and the news making a story of it, they start to find things that have been hidden. Will they find what they need to keep the allotments?
 I really enjoyed this book as I could relate with it. Having an allotment myself and finding knotweed isn't good and we had to fight our local council about it. so it made it more real.
