*Helen Fielding*
Essential reading for everyone.
*Marian Keyes*
I inhaled this book, it's fantastic. Women of all ages need to read
it. It’s genuinely helped me understand why I wake up at 5 a.m. and
made me laugh along the way.
*Claudia Winkleman*
Cracking the Menopause should be mandatory for every medical
student and pretty much anyone else who cares about the quality of
a woman’s life over the age of forty. Mariella and Alice have just
written one of the most important books of the year, bravo.
*Gabby Logan*
Menopause is the dark matter of modern medicine, until now almost
totally neglected. This book shrugs off generations of silence and
stigma. It’s confessional, scientifically accurate and extremely
funny. It’s for anyone who will experience the menopause themselves
or who knows someone who will . . . so that’s basically
everyone.
*Dr Chris van Tulleken*
Optimistic, hilarious and informative. A rallying cry for women to
love and look after themselves at any age.
*Susannah Constantine*
This book is nothing short of revolutionary! Finally, some
validation for women who’ve been swirling around aimlessly seeking
answers in tomes of patriarchal gibberish. This book arrives at
exactly the right time; a guidebook for that stage in life,
previously only surviving in shadows and whispers. MENOPAUSE, at
long last: a badge of honor.
*Naomi Watts*
This friendly, feisty book has all the myth-busting facts, tactics
and strategies we need to sail through menopause and not just
survive, but thrive.
*Alice Hart-Davis, founder of The Tweakments Guide*
Brilliantly well-informed, hugely helpful and, above all,
empathetic to women’s needs: I wish I’d had this to read when my
own perimenopause kicked in.
*Saska Graville, MPowered Women*
A must-read for women of any age. It does not just crack the
menopause, it makes it cool. I, for one, cannot wait to become a
grumpy and free menopausal woman after reading this book.
*Miriam Gonzalez Durantes*
It’s astounding and shocking that a process over half the world’s
population will go through is still so poorly understood. This book
goes a long way towards clearing up the myths and misconceptions
that still surround the menopause.
*Lydia Slater, Editor-in-Chief, Harper's Bazaar*
It’s fascinating, and a little scary that men are so ignorant about
something that will probably significantly affect someone they’ve
lived with for two decades!
*Mark Pougatch*
