Story of abortion doctor

Loved Shaman and Physician. This book more like a chick lit. Career angst. Overly busy wish no fulfillment. Sad to see how empty people's lives are. Especially those with "careers". Nothing I wanted to spend time reading.

choices

as is customary with all noah gordon books it is very well written and easy to read. great choice of subject matter. i continue to read all his books. one by one. hope he is working on new ones.

a little different than the other 2 from the trilogy

interesting spin, much more political, addressing current society issues. The connection to the previous 2 in the trilogy is not as straight forward as it may seem. Good read, though I would have liked to see a stronger connection. Noah Gordon's strength is in the historical novels more so than in this contemporary one.

Hats off to Noah Gordon - He has done it again!

Unfortunately, most of the people writing the other reviews missed the point of the book, or did not comprehend the full meaning of this book. It is very well written and keeps your interest at all times. It is many things all coming together to a beautiful ending. I can not imagine what more anyone would want in a book. The more-than-adequate development of the characters made for easy reading. Frankly, I found this to be the perfect ending for two such strong prior books as "The Physician" and "Shaman". Anyone that enjoys the wonderful writing of Noah Gordon will also love this book. Don't be midled by the less than glowing reviews of other readers. I very nearly did not read this book because of the reviews. I'm so very glad I read the book and made up my own mind as to its value. I found it very entertaining and so glad I got to know Dr. R.J. Cole. Try it - you'll like it.

I loved it...........Couldn't put it down!

This is the first time I have read Noah Gordon and I was really surprised to see some of the lesser reviews of this book. It grabbed me from the very beginning and wouldn't me go. If this book is not up to par with the first two of the trilogy, I can't wait to read them.

Noah Gordon strikes again!!!

After reading the physician, the rabbi and Shaman, I felt like Noah Gordon couldn't surprise me anymore. Those were such great books. So, when I heard that there was a new book, completing the trilogy of the Cole's saga, I thought it would be some repetition from the other. I was shocked to realize he did even better this time. The book doesn't only speak of the "gift", but it tells the drama of a woman touched by it, and by several tragedies on her life, that changes her world upside down, finding new challenges,and new tragedies, and overcoming them all. It's a heart-touching story, that makes the reader think over some thing in his own life, and start giving life and its simple and small pleasures its true value. It's a "must" to read, for anyone who liked his first books, or not
