Resumen del Editor

Bloomsbury presents PMSL: Or How I Literally Pissed Myself Laughing and Survived the Last Taboo to Tell the Tale by Luce Brett, read by Luce Brett.

When Luce Brett became incontinent at the age of 30, after the birth of her first son, she felt her life had ended. She also felt scared, upset, embarrassed, dirty and shocked. How the hell had she ended up there, the youngest woman in the waiting room at the incontinence clinic?

PMSL is her story. A heartfelt, moving and deeply personal account of the decade that followed, told with incredible honesty and wit. Luce has been at the sharp end of a medical issue that affects 1 in 3 women but that remains shrouded in taboo and social stigma. It's sincere, raw and funny - but crucially it is the first memoir to look at incontinence, smashing the stigma and looking at what anyone affected can do to navigate their way through the wet-knickered wilderness.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Warm, generous and genuinely useful. Women will be pressing PMSL into each other's hands - and they'll be doing so without any shame because of the brilliant stigma-busting outlook of this book." (Lynn Enright, author of Vagina: A Re-education)

"There is no better person to finally illuminate this last taboo than Luce Brett." (Milli Hill, author of Give Birth Like a Feminist)

"A breath of fresh air." (Anna Williamson, TV presenter and author of Breaking Mad)

very helpful

I found the story very emotional and made me feel less alone. She has a bit of upspeak, so if that bothers you perhaps you could read the book instead.

Ever had a baby?

Finally made me realise what I need to go do and that what I have experienced and lived with past weight gain and pregnancy/vaginal birth is not good enough. Hilarious, raw and heartbreaking all at once. Thank you, for your bravery Luce Brett!
