"One heck of a rollicking good read....You'll laugh. You'll cry. But you'll mostly want to laugh and offer Wells a hearty merci." ( Columbus Dispatch)

Love the book and the movie. After having seen the movie numerous time, I kept hearing the characters as the actors and actresses from the movie.

Description of scenes, feelings, life and living

I’m never one for “in-depth” sex scene descriptions, and this one just tripped a bit across my comfort level, but overall not grimacing so. I like the reality of life’s hurts and wounds mixed with the joy, healing, disregard of self wants that demonstrates true friendship and sisterhood.

Story was captivating, the narration was excellent

I could not stop listening to this audiobook. It was my treat, like a secret stash of candy. I love the narration. I felt like I was in the bayou sitting in with the Ya-Yas.

Insightful

I delighted in listening to this wonderful portrayal of the characters in this engaging story. I missed reading it years ago and deep cleaned my china cabinet, closets and bookcases while engrossed in this amazing tale of loss and redemption . A perfect listening novel.

The Performance Worthy of an Oscar

This narrator has to be the single best I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. He acting and annunciation was DIVINE.

Absolutely Fabulous Dahlin'

This was a wonderful book! It made me realize a lot about my relationships with people. Namely my mother. You never know what shapes a persons life and makes them into the person they are.
