Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a now-classic novel about two women: Evelyn, who’s in the sad slump of middle age, and gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode, who’s telling her life story. Her tale includes two more women—the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth—who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, offering good coffee, southern barbecue, and all kinds of love and laughter—even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present will never be quite the same again.
Loved this very much, I was a bit sad when it ended.
3+. It was a little weird reading this out of order (after The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop, which I enjoyed marginally more). Flagg spins a good yarn. [Flagg didn't narrate the edition I read, which was disappointing—She's phenomenal!]
