<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in hardcover in the United States by Random House, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, in 1987"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, <i>Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe </i>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. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "A real novel and a good one [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved [the Threadgoodes] in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure."<b>--Harper Lee</b> <p/> "This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten."<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "Funny and macabre."<b>--<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "Courageous and wise."<b>--<i>Houston Chronicle</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A real novel and a good one [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved [the Threadgoodes] in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure."<b>--Harper Lee</b> <p/> "This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten."<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "Funny and macabre."<b>--<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "Courageous and wise."<b>--<i>Houston Chronicle</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Fannie Flagg</b>'s career started in the fifth grade when she wrote, directed, and starred in her first play, titled <i>The Whoopee Girls</i>, and she has not stopped since.
