Reception
Initial reception of the novel was chequered, with many reviewers challenging the absence of plot.[1] The New York Times praised the characterization of the describes the novel as going "go deep into the motives and moods and compulsions that move her characters" and that "The interplay of family life, with a dozen different people saying and doing a dozen different things all at the same time, is wonderfully handled by Miss Welty so that no detail is lost, every detail had its place in the pattern of the whole."[3]
