Calling Invisible Women: A Novel
A former reporter turned full-time doctor’s wife and mother of two adult children, Clover Hobart had pretty much made her peace with the fact that her wow factor had been turned down a few notches. Nothing, however, prepared her for the shock of waking up one morning to discover that she was invisible—full-blown, H.G. Wells, science-fiction invisible. Trouble is, nobody noticed. Talk about adding insult to injury. Luckily, Clover sees an ad inviting invisible women to meet at the local Sheraton, and suddenly she’s thrust into an amorphous support group who determine that their common denominator is a postmenopausal cocktail of hormone replacement, bone loss, and antianxiety medications. Wearing their newfound invisibility like a shield of invincibility, Clover and company tackle the drug company responsible for this travesty and in the process begin repairing relationships that might have helped them disappear in the first place. Women of a certain age will devour Ray’s sly satire on the perils of big pharma, middle age, and the unseen consequences of living the quiet life. --Carol Haggas--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
