The Interruption of Everything by Terry McMillan (Penguin books)
"Being a lifetime wife and mother has afforded me the luxury of having multiple and even simultaneous careers… For a long time I have felt like I inadvertently got my master's in How to Take Care of Everybody Except Yourself and then a Ph.D. in How to Pretend Like You Don't Mind.
"But I do mind."
Marilyn Grimes has postponed her dreams, her life and herself to raise three children, take care of her cheating husband and tend to her live-in mother-in-law. When she's not working part-time, she worries about her ageing mother who's living with her drug-addict foster sister. Marilyn's soul is drying up and cracking.
When the kids grow up and she thinks she's hit menopause, Marilyn finally has the chance to make a change. She just doesn't know how.
Terry McMillan's writing is frothy, upbeat and warm-hearted. She'll have you cracking up – out loud – in every chapter. The Interruption of Everything is a book with so much attitude, you'll be cancelling your dinner plans to read more. While the characters don't have much depth, the page-turning plot is astounding.
Terry McMillan's flair for chick-lit with heart has led to three film adaptations, Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Disappearing Acts.
