Ageing is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
Daphne is fiery and fabulous. She just needs to get out and meet people. But when an accident brings a teen dad, an empty nester and a has-been actor into her world, they aren't necessarily who she'd had in mind. And it soon becomes clear that they all have a story to tell.
But can these new friendships survive the secrets that will be revealed?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We were thrilled to discover Clare Pooley’s latest memorable heroine is on the more mature side. So few leading characters would qualify for a free bus pass, and here we receive further proof that’s a crying shame. Pooley introduces us to Daphne, a 70-year-old with a mysteriously murky back story and a tiny social circle—something she tries to do something about by joining a senior’s social club that’s proud to include members with proud (silver) hair-raising pasts. These characters are drawn with both affection and respect—their rich, varied lives are captured gorgeously and with a real wit. Their somewhat scurrilous pasts, meanwhile, might return to haunt them when they attempt to save their beloved club from closure.
