Title: The Doctor's Complicated Life
Review: This story is a pseudo-mystery novel about a family living upstate New York. The doctor of the title is an obstetrician in a religiously affiliated hospital who begins preforming abortions at a recently opened neighborhood clinic. The doctor's wife is a journalist and a stay at home mom, who is trying to get back into her career. This novel can be seen as an interesting commentary about the violent "pro-life" movement in this country. The novel takes many unbelievable twists and turns, as the couple becomes involved in very intimate yet different ways with another local couple--one an artist and professor at a local university and the other, his wife, a deeply disturbed and beautiful woman.The story line is a little convoluted and hard to buy into. Not a bad book, just not the greatest either. Could be a great discussion book for the right book group, however.
