Listening to this piece was like sitting around with one of my girlfriends, hearing her story. It's a story about a life-changing moment, a life-changing decision, told in an engaging, irreverent, natural way. You forget the reporter is there; he comes in every once in awhile, but the experience of hearing this piece is what radio is all about: an intimate, immediate connection between the listener and the storyteller.
There's some suspense, and a teasing out to a surprising conclusion. The mood of the piece is languid and soft, like the Hawaiian guitar music that meanders through it. The topic, the lengths a woman will go to respond to the ticking of her biological clock, is timely and of particular interest to 30-and 40-something women.
