This is just a feel good book that takes you back to Whistle Stop, Alabama. This is like curling up in a big comfy recliner and visiting with your favorite family members and friends. Fannie Flagg has such a gift by taking the reader on a journey with characters you know from Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café as well as some new individuals. This book will take you back and forth in time … from the 1930s to the present. It is such a joy to catch up with everyone … though it is interesting to see how some of the characters have aged. This is a sweet and touching story that has you chuckling one minute while shedding a few tears on the next page. What a great way to bring a wonderful story to a satisfying conclusion. You’ll want to make a trip to the Whistle Stop Café and place an order for fried green tomatoes. It will leave you with a stomach full of delicious food, a heart full of warmth, and a smile on your face.
