'I've read a few menopause books and hand on heart, this is the one that I'll keep on my bookshelf (the others I've given away). It may not be the most medically encyclopedic or touchy-feely, but it is the only one I've read that I wish I'd read five years ago. I didn't have to re-read paragraphs or feel that I needed to make notes to understand what was being said.' -- Elizabeth Carr-Ellis * 50Sense *
