About this listen
A portrait of a talented and courageous woman physician who stares at her reflection in the glass ceiling, and decides to seek and find a more meaningful life.
Roberta Jeanne d'Arc Cole is favored to be named associate chief of medicine at a Boston hospital. She is married to a surgeon. They own a trophy residence on historic Brattle Street in Cambridge and a summer house in the Berkshire Hills.
Everything melts away. Her gender and her work at an abortion clinic cost her the hospital appointment. Her marriage fails. Crushed, she goes to the farmhouse in Western Massachusetts, thinking to sell it, and finds an unexpected life. How she continues to fight for every woman's right to choose, while acknowledging her own ticking clock and maternal yearning, makes this prize-winning third story of the Cole trilogy as relevant as tomorrow.

But since I shelled out my 'hard earned' to complete the trilogy I continued to do so, all the while waiting for something that would add more interest to the story than what the characters had for lunch in a restaurant near a hospital where the father of the lead character lay dying.
I understood that this 'novel' was probably written in fulfilment of a contractual obligation -- or perhaps at the very end of the author's interest in his long tale.
Among other problems --- I could find no discernible link to the previous two books in the trilogy apart, from the fact that all lead characters are general practitioner doctors.
A truly terrible ordeal !!
