The Underachieving Ovary (Paperback)

Does the word ‘endometriosis’ make you want to stick a fork in your eye? No? Then perhaps this book isn’t for you.

It’s funny, and (sometimes alarmingly) frank. It contains an impressive array of synonyms for ‘vagina’ and it’s certainly NSFW. It’s about having a devil womb and a hot knife lodged in a shoulder. It’s about becoming blackly bitter and twisted in infertility, then slowly finding a way to untwist.

It’s part memoir, part dark comedy, wrapped up loosely as a journal full of TMI and quirk. Put it this way: If Helen Fielding and Marian Keyes were to go through IVF, and use Caitlin Moran as a surrogate, this book would be their baby.

If you've ever been connected in any way to a woman who's had fertility problems and was desperate to have a baby this is a must read. if you're currently have hassles, well .....don't die wondering. JT Lawrence will calm, inspire and fill you with the fighting spirit only a dedicated woman can achieve. The original humour alone is worth the price. 5 Stars.
