Summary

Complete and unabridged, this is the must-have version, written and performed by Rebecca Wells and Judith Ivey.

When Vivi and Siddalee Walker, an unforgettable mother-daughter team, get into a savage fight over a New York Times article that refers to Vivi as a "tap-dancing child abuser", the fallout is felt from Louisiana to New York to Seattle. Siddalee, a successful theater director with a huge hit on her hands, panics and postpones her upcoming wedding to her lover and friend, Connor McGill. Vivi's intrepid gang of lifelong girlfriends, the Ya-Yas, sashay in and conspire to bring everyone back together.

Critic reviews

"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)

Beautifully read.

A sentimental novel that tiptoes around being overly so in parts, but an enjoyable listen.

A great book ruined by terrible narration.

I have read the book and loved it so I thought it would be lovely to listen to the audio version. However, the narrators harsh voice and “southern” accent were so terrible that I couldn’t get passed the 3rd chapter. Really disappointed.
