THE SILENT PASSAGE

Gail Sheehy’s latest book breaks the “silence” surrounding menopause, the “passage” in a woman’s life which is not widely discussed or completely understood. Mixing up-to-date facts and current medical studies with personal stories and interviews of women, both well-known and unknown, this audiobook provides an examination of menopause’s range of symptoms and treatments. Gail Sheehy’s narration matches this mix of factual and anecdotal information. Her voice moves from a steady, level and clear recitation to a more rapid, conversational and enthusiastic expression. This change in tempo keeps the listener both absorbed and informed. A.A.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JAN 93]
