Flash Count Diary: A New Story About the Menopause Hardcover – 4 July 2019

I really enjoyed this book and actually came to it through a similarly nerdy obsession with whales like the authors- hear me out, now. This is an articulate, impassioned and intelligent book that left me feeling really much more positive about menopause. I particularly loved the killer whale content (it is relevant) and my favourite part was the encounter with Granny, the J pod matriarch. I also found the section on difficult relationships with the author's mother really moving.This book will not 'prescribe' solutions to your menopause symptoms- is a properly feminist approach to taking care of and control of our own bodies. Thank you, Darcey for an informative read- I am already looking up your other books.

It was ok abit of a slog to read.i don’t feel half the things that she writes about.its all about how she feels in an artsy hippy kind of way,not really that helpful to be honest.as my gran would say a load of clap trap.

Not as good as I had hoped but useful

I just have to say thank you to Ms. Steinke for writing this. It is such a great book, well researched and full of personal reflections and valuable insight into how to envision menopause more holistically, as a valuable and important life transition, not something to be feared or miserable about. Very grateful to be reading it right now. Just what the Dr ordered ☺️

Incredible read. Mind-blowing, enlightening, frank and laugh-out-loud moments. Do you love science, humans, orcas or beautiful sentences? Get this book. Top of my 2019 list and going nowhere.
