Title: I loved it, mon!
Product review: Two African American teenaged students recommended this book. It was obvious the interest it would have for them, and I was amazed at how appealing it was to me (of course, I had just returned from vacation in Jamaica). As a middle-aged anglo woman, I smiled my way through Stella's reflections on life. Surprisingly, her stream of consciousness style was very refreshing. I liked Stella's philosophy of life, and her relationships with her sisters were classic. I enjoyed meeting Winston and admired Stella for the wonderful job she had done bringing up her son. This is a book with so many levels, that a woman should reread it at every passage in her life. It will never gather dust on my shelf. Why not a 10? I don't want Stella to lose everything she's gained in her new sense-of-self to Winston. Hang in there, Stella!
