Such a delight to pick up the characters from Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe and see what later lives Fannie Flagg created for them...and I can only hope there will be a movie version as wonderful as Fried Green Tomatoes, for which Flagg also wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay.
Flagg moves back and forth in time, with flashbacks to the Depression era of the original book, and key points in time along the way, using the points of view of the various characters to tell the story as it evolves into the present.
It's a very satisfying story, too, all neatly tied up just as you would like it to be. So refreshing, and just the thing to take you away from your troubles. Highly recommend to savor alongside a pot of your favorite tea and a slice or two of a freshly-baked pie to go with it.
