Gabrielle, a dedicated surgeon and head of a hospital department, is stretched thin by the weight of responsibility. There is little time left for her private life: a loving husband and a mother who depends on her care. Yet this is the life she wanted, the life she chose. When a novelist comes to observe her at work for a book, her balance begins to shift.
In A Woman's Life, consciousness is carried by aliens — a plane of “galactic moral compass”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing vengeance, justice, identity, belonging, morality.
