Problem is he is younger than Stella and she just can't get over the fact that she is in love with a younger man. What is interesting is that while men do this all the time, Stella fights her feeling over what is going on. ( ) I Really like this book. I enjoyed the Stream of consciousness style of writing that was used, as it really make you feel like you are Stella. You are a beautiful, smart and successful single mother who exudes confidence but rambles insecurities mixed with humor and hype behind your skull. The relationships between Stella, her son, her sisters and her friends stand out as some of the most realistic relationships I've read. Terry McMillan has a way of making everyone seem so real. As I reflect back on this book I try to think what is it about Winston that makes her fall in love... but I keep hitting the "We talked all night" wall. I can see now that this book was never a romance novel. I mean yes, they meet, have sex, and fall in love like a romance novel; but YOU, the reader, never fall in love with Winston. You, fall in love with Stella. This book is all about Stella. Its about self-love, its about how we self sabotage, its about taking risks and finding your Groove in life. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Mukaelmia:Distinctions
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. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
