Terry McMillan’s sixth novel, The Interruption of Everything, is every bit as enchanting and empowering as her earlier hits Waiting to Exhale and A Day Late and a Dollar Fleeting. But, as McMillan matures as an leader, her characters follow suit, which leads her to a wiser, more introspective lead character in the form of Marilyn Grimes. Our reward, as readers, is a tale of midlife crisis, mixed with family tree and personal drama, all told in the witty, honest, and inspiring style we’ve come to expect from this seasoned storyteller.
As Marilyn approaches middle-age, we follow her struggle to learn herself outside the constraints of a passionless marriage, a demanding family tree and an ever-growing list of dreams deferred. With three children in college, a spouse who suffers from destructive professional and personal inertia, a demanding mother-in-law, a senile mother and a drug-addicted sister, Marilyn has more on her plate than she expected at this stage of the game. Torn between taking care of her friends and family tree and attending to her own needs, she’s faced with choices, like deciding to end her graduate degree, that never before seemed hers to make. Along the way, supporting characters like Marilyn’s feisty small niece and supportive-yet-opinionated best friends Paulette and Bunny add humor and depth to our heroine’s character. And as permanently, McMillan does a flawless job of incorporating humor into even the most traumatic situations, as evidenced by a scene in which Marilyn ends up babysitting her hairdresser’s children while waiting twelve hours for new braids. (“At three, Blue has to make a run. Orange has to go to the bank to get a money order. I question Lexus to find me a Pamper and I take the baby in the bathroom.”)
Warm and witty, sincere and heartfelt, The Interruption of Everything is sure to delight McMillan devotees and attract a host of new fans. –Gisele Toueg
