Penguin Audiobooks, New York, 1998.  ISBN 0-14-086886-0.  2 cassette tapes with approximate playing time of 3 hours; still in manufacturer’s shrink wrap; touch of creasing to side of box.  Read by the author.  ‘Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, mother of eleven-year-old Quincy – and she does it all.  So what if there’s been no one to share her bed with lately, let alone rock her world – Stella doesn’t mind too much; she probably wouldn’t have the energy for love – and all of love’s nasty fallout – anyway.  But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica, her world gets rocked to the core by a tall, lean, soft spoken Jamaican half her age.  The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a turning point:  not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, ideas about life and the way she has lived.’ (from rear box)
