This book is so perfect! I have bought it as a gift for many of my friends. They have then, in turn, given it to others. It’s been written so honestly and carefully by someone I know and trust.

As a young-ish woman experiencing the bewildering, unsettling and sometimes extreme symptoms of peri menopause, all I’ve wanted is to be able to talk to a girl friend who understands the journey. Someone who’s been there, seen it, done that. Someone who can hold your hand, tell you not to worry, and reassure you that you’ll come though the other side in time. That is exactly what Andrea has achieved with
Confessions of a Menopausal Woman. Her warmth and characteristic sensitivity shine through in her honest account of her own suffering - not to be a bleeding heart, but to be a guiding light for other women who are right behind her. Part memoir, part self-help, this book is must-have-menopause-manual for every girl who wants to feel her best in a time of change. ―

It really does hold your hand through the minefield that is the menopause. ―
