New York: Scribner, 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. VG+/VG+. A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper,(pre vious bookshop stamp inside fep)no inscriptions or underlining, this is not a 'BOMC' ex-library book; At the age of 6, while standing in a field observing a minute's silence for the death of King George IV, Mary Ward realized she was not a little girl. "That was a mistake," she said to herself. "She was a boy." Where this realization takes Mary is the ostensible subject of Sacred Country, although British writer Rose Tremain (author of The Way I Found Her) so lovingly treats the bleak town of Swaithey, England, where Mary grows up, and the people around her that the novel eddies out to encompass the town and times. With a steady eye, Tremain describes the harsh circumstances of Mary's early life and her disconnection from her body and surroundings.

New York: Pocket, 1995. Near Fine. When Sheehy, author of the classic Passages and The Man Who Changed the Wor ld: The Lives of Mikhail S. Gorbachev ( LJ 12/90), wrote about her personal experience with menopause in the October 1991 issue of Vanity Fair , the r esponse from readers was overwhelming and compelled her to expand the artic le into this surprisingly slim book. Interviewing over 100 women in various stages of menopause and 75 experts, she examines the medical, psychologica l, and social aspects of this "silent passage." A biological change that sp ans five to seven years, this "second adulthood," according to Sheehy, has three stages: perimenopause, menopause, and coalescence. While Sheehy perfo rms a valuable service in bringing this topic out into the open, her book i s weakened by her cliched Cosmopolitan -style prose and New Age psychobabbl e. Still, with the older members of the Baby Boom generation entering menop ause, there will be demand for this book.
