Agatha is an author, she is also menopausal, she is trying to ignore it, but at a panel one day she rants about how she is feeling, how she is treated etc and she goes Viral.
Struggling with writers block and now an online sensation, she gets asked on to talk shows all whilst her marriage is hitting a tough spot.
This is a diary of her life after that point, it's funny in places, poignant in others. I would expect most women would be able to relate in some way to Agatha as a character.
It is great that menopause is appearing more in contemporary literature and being talked about more, I am all for it. This book doesn't offer any advice, but does make you feel that you aren't alone in the experience.
