Seattle Times "I read the first two pages and I said . . . I haven't heard a white woman talk like this in literature before."

Terry McMillan, San Francisco Chronicle.

"Not since young men started wearing yellow trousers ala Goethe's Werther has a book had somuch of a real-life influence on readers."

The Globe and Mail.

"Unforgettable. . . .By turns comic and poignant,Wells' latest entry fulfills the promiseof her award-winning debut novel, Little Altars Everywhere. It speaks eloquently to what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a wife-and somehow, at last, a person."

Charlotte Observer.

"Wells' Louisiana is thick with sensual excesses-bayou French, pralines and sour cream cookies, crayfish etouffee, honeysuckle-smothered trellises, camellias and jasmine. . . . In Divine Secrets, you can hear the ice cubes clink on every page. . . . Wells' book succeeds marvelously."

Seattle Weekly.

"Sensitive, spellbinding . . . a wonderfully irreverent look at life insmall-town Louisiana from the thirties on upthrough the eyes of the Ya-Yas, a gang of merry, smart, brave, poignant, and unforgettable goddesses."

Booklist.

"Readers who like their books about the human condition spiced with a Southern drawl won't want to miss this one."

Mississippi Sun Herald.
