I loved this delightful book, it can be purchased here at Readers Warehouse, Takealot, Amazon
Synopsis
She's earned her stripes.
But the hive's misbehaving . . .
Insomnia - How do I have three extra adult males - and a small yappy dog - living in my house when I need to grow into a graceful and sexual midlife woman?
Rage - Am furious.
Anxiety - What's going to happen to my career if I can't get out of this rut?
Feel invisible - What is happening to me?
Fifty-year-old Agatha Doyle loves her empty nest - until hot flushes, a pair of killer heels and an overbearing man who won't stop talking conspire to change her life. In one moment of madness, she unwittingly becomes a heroine to women everywhere.
But can she become the heroine of her own life?
Sometimes you just have to wing it.
'Laugh-out-loud funny with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the menopause with a baseball bat in her hands . . . Fast-paced and hilarious' CATHY KELLY
'Bridget Jones meets menopause . . . sharp, funny and real' CECELIA AHERN
'I loved this book. Hilarious, perceptive, empathetic. Readers will utterly identify with and adore the superbly drawn Agatha' PATRICIA SCANLAN
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book made me angry in the best possible way. Let me explain.
Why is menopause or anything to do the lower half of the female anatomy (except for sex) totally taboo? Why is it considered shameful or a stigma, or a huge secret?
And those are exactly the questions Agatha Doyle is asking.
Despite not being menopausal myself (maybe pre menopause), I could relate to her. Loved her brilliant and seemingly unintentional humour and her recorded diary entries (very Bridget Jones). Every entry starts off with her mood/symptoms, and those emotions are raw and real!
I love how Agatha accidentally becomes a worldwide heroine, that she gives women a voice, that because of her women aren't afraid to speak out anymore. How she just stops giving a f*** and accepts herself as she is.
Her inner voice/ conscience is her mother, who passed away quite recently, and that's touching and funny how in her mind her mom still 'mothers' her.
I really love the Irish sense of humour! There's really no humour like it.
And lastly, Agatha and also both have a son named Aidan. And have bee's in our yard's.
This definitely has a spot in my top 5 reads of the year.
Thank you Jonathan Ball publishers for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest thoughts
