					<description><![CDATA[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 the bulldozers roll in and they fight to save the place Janet loves most, both women find their voice again - no one can silence them now. A story of friendship, female lives post-menopause, community spirit and the importance of connection.]]></description>

<p><b>Ignored.</b><br />Seventy-something Janet Pimm is invisible. Spending most of her days alone, she tends her beloved allotment with the care and love she doesn&#8217;t receive from people. Plants, Janet thinks, are more important than friends.</p>
<p><b>Overlooked.</b><br />Janet&#8217;s neighbour, Bev, has reached the age when a cloak of invisibility threatens to descend. Her friendly advances are rebuffed by Janet, but when the council threatens to close the allotments, Janet must swallow her pride and enlist Bev&#8217;s help.</p>
<p><b>But they&#8217;re about to prove everyone wrong.</b><br />As the two join forces, Janet realises that she isn&#8217;t happy to be a wallflower after all. And that maybe there&#8217;s more to Bev than she thought. As the bulldozers roll in and they fight to save Janet&#8217;s treasured allotment, both women find their voice again. And no one can silence them now&#8230;</p>
