The Invisible Women’s Society by @NikkiGemmell

By Pamelascott

Lu and her friends are all hitting 50 and have no intention of learning to knit. Feisty and fabulous, this foursome is determined to grow old disgracefully. Join them on their journey across the desert and across the years to their home town and a school reunion, in this audio drama from the international best-selling author of The Bride Stripped Bare.

As for Lu - recently divorced, living with three demanding kids, always awaiting promotion at work - well Lu really believes she's reached the age of invisibility. Love must be over for her. Or is it? Laughing, sometimes crying, ruthlessly honest and often downright filthy, Lu, Chip, Bianca and Flic share secrets while the desert roads turn treacherous.

This podcast made me laugh out loud. To be honest, I wasn't really enjoying the first few episodes. The different narrators are Australian and I don't really like some Australian accents. It took a couple of episodes for me to adjust and settle into the show. The Invisible Women's Society would make a fantastic TV show. This is one of the funniest podcasts I've listened to in ages. My partner is 50 and twelve years older than me so a lot of the stresses and worries of Lu and her friends rang true to me. The podcast takes a dark turn at times once the women reach the reunion.
