De: Rebecca Wells

“A big, blowzy romp through the rainbow eccentricities of three generations of crazy bayou debutantes.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“A very entertaining and, ultimately, deeply moving novel about the complex bonds between mother and daughter.”
—Washington Post

“Mary McCarthy, Anne Rivers Siddons, and a host of others have portrayed the power and value of female friendships, but no one has done it with more grace, charm, talent, and power than Rebecca Wells.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch

The incomparable #1 New York Times bestseller—a book that reigned at the top of the list for an remarkable sixty-eight weeks—Rebecca Wells’s Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a classic of Southern women’s fiction to be read and reread over and over again. A poignant, funny, outrageous, and wise novel about a lifetime friendship between four Southern women, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood brilliantly explores the bonds of female friendship, the often-rocky relationship between mothers and daughters, and the healing power of humor and love, in a story as fresh and uplifting as when it was first published a decade and a half ago. If you haven’t yet met the Ya-Yas, what are you waiting for?

Abridged

It's very sad that it is an abridged version: the original is fantastic, but it loose interesting and emotionally triggering parts with the cuts

not marked as abridged

I never listen to abridged books and was really disappointed that I wasted my time re-reading this beloved book as abridged. Planning to exchange. Please mark this more clearly for others

Unlabeled Abridged Version

This title is not labeled as abridged, though I suppose if one looks at the length they'd figure it out, It was on sale, so I didn't check. That being said, it being abridged was a blessing in disguise. The narrator, who happens to be the writer was not my cup of tea. She seemed to be trying so hard to be over the top, but it comes at the detriment of enunciation and over all tempo just plain out being able to understand what she's saying at time. Actress, or at least voice actress she is not.
