Emma and Zara host a menopausal support group and learn as much about their own experiences and friendship as the other women.
Emma and Zara hold a support group for women going through the menopause, with attendees Nicky, Esther and Sadiqa. Sadiqa is quiet, having nearly left the meeting at her husband’s request, and makes notes throughout, for an academic research study. Zara is sure that Sadiqa is hiding something personal but Emma is frustrated that she has listened to the women’s private experiences without announcing that she was taking notes on them.
