Annotations

Savannah Jackson is attractive, educated and as her mother and sister keep reminding her, unmarried at age 36.

Bernadine Harris has 11 years of marriage, the house, the BMW and the kids, but a 24-year-old white bookkeeper has her husband. Robin Stokes is a successful professional recovering from a dead-end love affair. And Gloria Matthews owns Oasis, one of the few hair salons for black women in Phoenix.

These are the heroines of Terry McMillan's affecting novel - four African-American women who lean on each other while "waiting to exhale," waiting for that man who will take their breath away. - (Random House, Inc.)
