Stella Got Her Groove Back!

I've finished it. Trying to read and not inhale the fibrous material was a challenge - given the nasty cold I had yesterday. Went to the doc and the medicines did their job of healing me and knocking me out. All I could do yesterday was play Pastry Passion and snooze between reading How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

It's a wonderful book. Like a perpetual vacation, starting from the time she takes an actual vacation to when she comes back and returns with son and neice in tow. The life-altering experience she goes through during her visit which helps her get her groove back has its own share of cynics in the form of her sister Angela who always plays it safe and seems to Stella to be the nasty voice of reason or in other words, the living spirit of her long-passed away mother. Everyone else is pretty gung-ho about Stella finding holiday romance, the kind that refuses to end with the closing of a good week's worth of vacation.

The book is light and interesting. Her narrative matches her ever actively changing mind; changes tracks faster than the Bullet train at the speed of light. It's a good beach read or something to enjoy even in bed with a head cold as bad as mine.
