One friend, who attempted to make conversation by referring gently to the mystery surrounding her description of her "contraceptive equipment" in the book, was to receive a response that was more full and frank than she had expected.
"Oh!" blurted out Mrs Blair unabashed. "You're talking about my cap." It was, it seems, something of a conversation-stopper.
and
But there's worse. Earlier in the book, Cherie tells in eye-popping detail about how she and Tony consummated their relationship after a first date that began with drunken flirtation - "I could feel a blush rise up from some uncharted part of me" - and moved on to seedy fumblings on the top deck of a bus, en route to bed.
"It was a double-decker and we went upstairs. .. by the time we got off we knew each other better than when we'd got on. And even better the next morning."
I hope she remembered her "contraceptive equipment".
Seedy? You bet. But then what should we expect of a woman who, when asked by Princess Margaret to explain what the gay minister Chris Smith's partner "was for", replied "for sex, Ma'am?"
It's as if Cherie has some warped fixation on biological matters. In nauseating gynaecological detail, she describes the birth of her eldest son, Euan.
and
In for a penny, in for a pound (a million of them, as it happens), Cherie continues her gynaecological history with the gory tale of a miscarriage she suffered, right from the fatal scan to the evacuation of the foetus.
Over to her: "'There's no heartbeat, Mrs Blair,' the radiographer said. 'I'm afraid the baby's dead'."
"I told her I needed the loo and the moment I sat down the bleeding started."
Let me be clear: I have nothing but the greatest sympathy for any woman who has to go through the pain and heartbreak of miscarriage. But what kind of woman feels the need to share such graphic detail?
In what way will that comfort or reassure those who may have gone through the experience? It's hardly as if they won't know how distressing it can be.

Sex Therapy And Some Very Weird Gurus
In her book, Cherie speaks of her shock at the discovery that she was pregnant with Leo.
But what she fails to mention is that the pregnancy came at a time when she had submitted herself to a New Age fad which taught that the way to inner harmony can be achieved through prolonged and regular bouts of sex.

The approach was central to the credo of two of Cherie's spiritual gurus. For some time, New Age therapists Bharti Vyas and Carole Caplin's mother, Sylvia, had been preaching to Cherie the same doctrine of sex as a therapy for a variety of psychological and physical problems.
Both gurus were convinced of the theory that many of life's ailments were brought on as a result of an under-used sex drive.
Cherie sat intently through long lectures from both women on the subject. But the lectures had gone further than that.
Before her husband had become Labour leader, Cherie had unwisely agreed to discuss in detail with Mrs Caplin the most private aspects of their sex life.
