About this listen
Audrey believes that her ex is in the past, her relationship with Marshall is entirely platonic, and that James' love is unimpeachable. Then an unplanned pregnancy shuffles their places in each other's lives.
Marshall is willing to be there for Audrey without judgment, to steadily wait for friendship to blossom into passion, and to accept her spiteful decision to keep James in the dark about their baby. Eventually secrets are revealed and commitments put to the test.
Matters of Convenience examines the repercussions of unpredictable timing and rash solutions, asking if happiness results from choice, fate or serendipity. I categorize Matters of Convenience as woman-centric contemporary/literary fiction, with male voices of equal weight. It also qualifies as African American fiction (the three main characters and majority of secondary characters are Black), which is not to say that it is primarily about race.
