Description:	If all of New Zealand was to read this book, half of the readers would be guaranteed to have, at some point, intimate knowledge of the tumultuous life stage this manual covers. With such widespread personal impact, the other half could be well advised to read it too ... This is 'the change' we are talking about, that once taboo subject, now firmly under the microscope in this well-researched book. Health writer Nicky Pellegrino brings together the latest information about menopause and perimenopause, and her own and many other women's experiences of this life-changing event. Written with humour, empathy and authority, this definitive guide is encapsulated by its subtitle: how to make 'the change' a good one.

An interesting book on menopause and perimenopause. It provides information on the latest research so women can make the right choices for themselves. Wish we had access to this material 30-40 years ago.

Great discussion. Over 90% of our members are over 60, and it gave us all a further education about ourselves. Would be a really good read for forty year olds.

Too much science, but humorous. We liked the cameos from the ladies. Many of us wished we had read this book 10 years ago.

A good book for women who are approaching or experiencing menopause. Well researched and structured well with interviews with well known New Zealand women sharing their experiences. Very affirming and well-written with snippets of wisdom and humour.
