About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When age makes you invisible, secrets are easier to hide

Lydia imagines her new job running a Senior Citizen's Social Club three afternoons a week will involve drinking tea while playing gentle games of cards, listening to The Beatles and reminiscing about food rationing and The Blitz.

She does not expect to find a failed actor addicted to shoplifting, a woman who's been hiding from a mysterious and very chequered past, and a prolific yarn-bomber. It turns out that their ideas about how to spend their afternoons are very different.

After a tragic accident means the council threatens to sell the community centre, the Social Club, aided by their friends in the nursery next door and a geriatric orphaned dog, set out to save it.

They might not be able to save the hall, but they might just save each other - if their pasts don't catch up with them first...

This is my first book by Clare Pooley and I have loved every second of it. The individual characters are brilliant and the setting of the story was different and refreshing. I will definitely be reading another book very soon.

I loved Daphine.

Loved this brilliantly funny book by the great Clare Pooley. I think it might be my favourite of her books so far, I simply couldn’t put it down or turn it off… it doesn’t work as a book to nod off to.

Brilliant.

Boy, did I need this book? I've been reading dark thrillers for months, and this was a welcome delight.

Starting with a coach trip for the over seventies and under five isn't necessarily everybody's ideal day out, but when the police blue light them to stop and pull over, the drama begins.

This is a light-hearted tale that certainly makes you sit up and think. Living in such a judgemental world, it's easy to make assumptions, but as Pooley cleverly explains, there is more to most people than just the cover.

I laughed out loud on several occasions and thoroughly enjoyed this witty book.

Added bonus was the fantastic narrator - Clare Corbett #No1Fan

4.5/5

Never judge a book by it's cover!
