Title: How Stella Got Her Groove Back Author: Terry McMillan File Type: Mobi Subject:Fiction Description:Amazon.com ReviewThe author of __ checks in again with a fresh, exuberant novel. Stella Payne is a Superwoman who has everything--except a man to rock her world, something shes convinced she can well do without. On a spur-of-the-moment Jamaican vacation she meets Winston, a man half her age, and finds, to her dismay, that her world is indeed well and truly rocked. Stella soon realizes that shes come to a cataclysmic juncture in her life, one that forces new and difficult questions about her passions and expectations. From Publishers WeeklyHer readers may be surprised that, after the gritty, tell-it-as-it-is Mama and Waiting to Exhale, McMillan has now written a fairy tale. Her forty-fucking-two-year-old heroine, divorcee Stella Payne, possesses a luxurious house and pool in northern California, a lucrative job as a security analyst, a BMW and a truck, a personal trainer and an adorable 11-year- old son-but no steady guy. On a whim, Stella decides to vacation in Jamaica, and she narrates the ensuing events in a revved-up voice, naked of punctuation, that alternates between high-voltage energy and erotic languor. Romance comes to Stella under tropical skies-but theres a problem. Gorgeous, seductive Winston, the chef-trainee with whom she enjoys passionate sex (explicitly detailed), is shockingly young hes not quite 21. Naturally, Stella wonders if he really loves her endless soul-searching and a few tepid complications occupy the remainder of the narrative. When Stella loses her job, its no sweat she has enough savings to maintain her lifestyle. When fate throws two other gorgeous men her way, she immediately decides they are boring and isnt tempted for a minute. Meanwhile, her intense preoccupation with feminine deodorant sprays and the smell of womens public bathrooms is rather strange, to say the least. McMillans expletive-strewn narrative accommodates such musings, however, and readers who have been yearning for a Judith Krantz of the black bourgeoisie-albeit one with a dirty mouth and a more ebullient spirit-will be pleased with this fantasy of sexual fulfillment. 100,000 first printing major ad promo first serial rights to People and Essence BOMC main selection film rights to 20th Century Fox author tour. 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
