How to Age Disgracefully

The brand new feel-good novel from the bestselling author of The Authenticity Project and The People on Platform 5

'Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful. Restored my faith in humankind' - Ruth Jones

When age makes you invisible, secrets are easier to hide.

Daphne knows that age is just a number. She also knows that society no longer pays her any attention—something she's happy to exploit to help her hide a somewhat chequered past.

But finding herself alone on her 70th birthday, with only her plants to talk to and neighbours to stalk online, she decides she needs some friends. Joining a Senior Citizen's Social Club, she's horrified at the expectation she'll spend her time enduring gentle crafting activities. Thankfully, the other members—including a failed actor addicted to shoplifting and a prolific yarn-bomber—agree.

After a tragic accident, the local council threatens to close the club, but they have underestimated the wrong group of pensioners. With the help of a teenage dad and a geriatric, orphaned dog, the incongruous gang set out to prove it.

As long as their pasts don't catch up with them first...
