La doctora Cole es una mujer de nuestro tiempo. Tiene en su haber cuarenta años, un divorcio reciente y una licenciatura en medicina que le permite ejercer su profesión con dignidad y dedicación absoluta. Sin embargo, en la tierra de Bill Clinton el arte de curar se ha convertido en una pura burocracia y la relación con los pacientes es cada día más distante. Fiel a la tradición familiar, que ha hecho de la medicina un sacerdocio, R. J. Cole decide dejar las comodidades de su apartamento de Boston para volver al campo y trabajar como médico rural. Es ahí, en las agrestas colinas de Massachusetts, donde finalmente podrá recobrar ese don de advinación tan peculiar que ya distinguió a sus antepasados, y donde volverá a desubrir aquellos placeres personales que la gran ciudad le había arrebatado. Tras el éxito clamoroso de El médico y Chamán, con La doctora Cole Noah Gordon pone un soberbio punto final a la historia de una familia cuyos avates nos han ido acompañando a lo largo de los siglos, desde la magia de la Edad Media hasta la cruda realidad de nuestros días.

Work Description

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.
