What the critics say

"Eudora Welty is one of our purest, finest, gentlest voices, and this collection is something to be treasured." (Anne Tyler, Washington Star)
"The richness of such talent resists a summing up.... She is always honest, always just. And she is vastly entertaining. The stories are magnificent." (Maureen Howard, The New York Times Book Review)
“An expansive cast of performers delivers Welty’s 41 published stories. While all the performances are strong…it is the female narrators who shine on these recordings. Their voices are especially capable of performing the acrobatics involved in the social maneuverings of Welty’s steel magnolias. Dialogue is nuanced—many exchanges sound so authentic that it’s almost as if the listener is watching a play rather than hearing prose. Welty’s unique stories of hope, love, and redemption are enlivened by all the performers on this extensive collection.” ( AudioFile)

Audiobook is probably not the best choice

I found it hard to follow the stories. I suspect that, if I had read the print book, I would have been less distracted by random thoughts.
