How Stella Got Her Groove Back Mass market paperbound - 1997

de Terry McMillan


Resumen

Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, a high-powered investment analyst, mother of eleven-year-old Quincy—and she does it all. In fact, if she doesn't do it, it doesn't get done, from Little League carpool duty to analyzing portfolios to folding the laundry and bringing home the bacon. She does it all well, too, if her chic house, personal trainer, BMW, and her loving son are any indication. So what if there's been no one to share her bed with lately, let alone rock her world? Stella doesn't mind it too much; she probably wouldn't have the energy for love—and all of love's nasty fallout—anyway.

But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica, her world gets rocked to the core—not just by the relaxing effects of the sun and sea and an island full of attractive men, but by one man in particular. He's tall, lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the ocean—and is half her age. The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a cataclysmic juncture: not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way she has lived it.

Told in Stella's own exuberant, dead-on, dead honest voice, How Stella Got Her Groove Back is full of Terry McMillan's signature humor, heart, and insight. More than a love story, it is ultimately a novel about how a woman saves her own life—and what she must risk to do it.

Descripción:
New York: Signet, 1997. Mass Market Paperback. Good. 7x4x1. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 445 pages; spine creasing, edge wear; Stella Payne lives in a beautiful house near San Francisco, with her 11-year-old son Quincy. She works as a financial systems analyst for a salary that most would salivate over. She chose her career at the behest of her now ex-husband, who convinced Stella to leave her art-furniture business for something more lucrative. When Quincy goes to visit his father, Stella decides, on a whim, to go to Jamaica for nine days. There, she finds Winston Shakespeare, a 20-year-old chef's assistant who arouses her passion in such a way that she can't forget him once she's home again. She invites Winston to visit her, and he promptly wins over everyone in sight and persuades Stella to make some changes in her life.
