The tale she tells is also of two women--of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth--who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present--for Evelyn and for us--will never be quite the same again... 'Airplanes and television have removed the Threadgoodes from the Southern scene. Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved a whole community of them in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure. Idgie Threadgoode is a true original: Huckleberry Finn would have tried to marry her!' --Harper Lee, Author of To Kill a Mockingbird 'A real novel and a good one... [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller.' --The New York Times 'It's very good, in fact, just wonderful.' --Los Angeles Times 'Funny and macabre.' --The Washington Post 'Courageous and wise.' --Houston Chronicle
