Summary
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.

Unacceptable narration
Would you try another book written by Noah Gordon or narrated by Hayden Bishop?
Noah Gordon, absolutely yes, I bought all of them already. But Bishop is abismal. She stutters like a five year old learning to read.
What other book might you compare Matters of Choice to, and why?
No time to think now
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Hayden Bishop?
Richard Higgins, simon vance, tess stimson, anyone would do better
Do you think Matters of Choice needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, its the third in a trilogy anyway
Any additional comments?
Teach her to read then to narrate

beautifully written and engaging
I listened to all the books from the Cole family trilogy on audible and I found this to be the best performance. The book honours the other two, being a well written story of a Doctor in a period of history (here the 90s)

Dreary
After the first 2 books which were really good, this was interminable, dreary and seemed to have minimal connection with the other books in trilogy.
