A poolside read with substance! I had this in my TBR for years. An actual cover is inset, right. Clover, wife and mother, upon reaching a certain age, discovers one day that she is literally invisible to everyone. But her family doesn‘t notice, as they‘ve taken her for granted for years. She discovers that there are other invisible women as well & they find self-empowerment. It‘s funny with thoughtful moments. I enjoyed it! Was surprised that 👇

ValerieAndBooks Was surprised to find that author Jeanne Ray is Ann Patchett‘s mother. Ironic because I‘ve failed to get into any of Patchett‘s books for #authoramonth. ( @soubhiville ) . Jeanne Ray has written other books and I‘ll be on the lookout for them. 4y
charl08 Sounda good. Adding it to the wishlist. 4y
DivineDiana Amazing! I had not heard that Ann Patchett‘s mother was a writer! Very curious. Stacked! 3y

Very funny! Great idea to explore! Different read!
Talks about feeling literally invisible within your own house!
Totally worth it, lol!

I listened to this while I picked weeds out of the garden over a couple of semi-dry days.

Mehso-so

A slow (but interesting) start and a very rushed end. I liked the idea of it, but I‘m not sure I buy people just not noticing other people are invisible, like, even as a metaphor.

I've never been able to relate much to that reviewer that says they "read it in one sitting". If you had an uninterrupted day, this could be a one-sitting book. Fun. Easy. Enough depth to keep your interest, no snags to slow you down.
