Book Summary and Reviews of The Interruption of Everything by Terry McMillan

Media Reviews

'With her trademark ability to write thought-provoking tales inspired by the lives and loves of contemporary African-American women, McMillan offers another novel sure to resonate with readers grappling with the questions Marilyn poses to herself.' - PW.
'McMillan's inimitable style is on display in this novel about a woman facing midlife crises on every front.' - Booklist.
'Undercharacterized Leon is the weak link here. Otherwise, McMillan's combination of boisterous humor and real compassion, both for the old and the underclass, is deeply impressive.' - Kirkus Reviews.
