Book Review:
''Childlessness: The Layman's Guide'' is a compassionate and informative book that addresses the often painful and misunderstood topic of infertility. Written by Mahasara Gunaratne, a counsellor with ten years of experience, this guide offers a clear and accessible explanation of the causes, prevention, and treatment of childlessness.

What makes this book so valuable is its simplicity and clarity. The author presents sensitive information in a way that is easy to understand, helping to dispel the ignorance and myths surrounding infertility. Anne Abayasekara, Sri Lanka's renowned family counsellor, describes the book as ''edifying'' and ''fascinatingly readable,'' while Professor Earle de Fonseka praises its potential to increase public awareness of preventable aspects of childlessness.

This book is a must-read for couples struggling with infertility, as well as for family members, counsellors, and anyone who wants to better understand this important issue. A thoughtful and helpful guide.
