How Stella Got Her Groove Back

"Is a happy woman in charge of her own fate de facto an unsympathetic character--someone people don't want to read about and cannot empathize with? If so, the defenders of serious literature will no doubt join in unison to eject Terry McMillan's rip-roaring new book, 'How Stella Got her Groove Back', from the Eden of politically and academically correct approval. Because, in 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back', no women weep; and Stella, in fact, revels. She revels and even gloats at being a woman, revels in being in solitary possession of her mind, her body, her child, her house, her finances, her beauty, her creativity and finally, of her sexy, strapping young dream lover, whom she finds and triumphantly lashes to her side. If this is unserious literature, it is unserious literature of the most serious kind, perhaps even, in its own way, revolutionary."McMillan, Terry is the author of 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back', published 1997 under ISBN 9780451192004 and ISBN 0451192001.
