WHEN AGE MAKES YOU INVISIBLE, IT'S EASIER TO KEEP YOUR SECRETS HIDDEN
Daphne knows that age is just a number. She also knows that society no longer pays any attention to her – something she gladly exploits to hide some dark aspects of her life. When she turns seventy, she decides she needs a few friends around her. The prospect of joining a senior social club terrifies her – she’s not into playing cards and exchanging pleasantries. But the club members are not what she expected. There she meets Art, a failed actor and a sworn kleptomaniac, Ruby, the female version of Banksy who passionately knits, and Lydia, who took on organizing the club but is in over her head.

After the unexpected collapse of half the building, the city council threatens to shut down the club – but they don’t realize who they’re messing with. The elderly, with the help of the nursery toddlers, a teenage father, and a very old dog, do everything they can to save the precious club…

Summary (Back Cover)

WHEN AGE MAKES YOU INVISIBLE, IT'S EASIER TO KEEP YOUR SECRETS HIDDEN. Daphne knows that age is just a number. She also knows that society no longer pays her any attention - something she gladly exploits to conceal certain dark aspects of her life. When she turns seventy, she decides she needs a few friends around her. The prospect of joining a senior social club terrifies her - she's not into playing cards and exchanging pleasantries.

And Lydia, who took on organizing the club, but eventually finds it tough. After the unexpected collapse of half the building, the city council threatens to shut down the club - but they haven't realized who they're dealing with. The seniors, with the help of the nursery school toddlers, a teenage father, and an elderly little dog, do everything they can to save the precious club…

Read an excerpt

Daphne expected that at this point in her life, things would be completely different. She imagined that at this stage she would be surrounded by beloved friends and relatives. Okay, maybe not beloved friends and relatives, but at least a group of people she had known for a long time and with whom she would be connected by the past, genetics, or shared assets. And yet, here she is, all alone, obsessively watching her neighbors and talking to her plants. Not to the yucca, though, which never really caught her eye.
