Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop CafeFolksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. 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
Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. 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

Great product minus the shipping
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The product itself is great. I’m loving this graphic novel collection. My gripe is with the way in which it was shipped. A heavy box set like this needs more shipping protection than the thin bubble wrap package it was shipped in, as it sustained quite a bit of damage in shipping to the outer box. I contemplated returning this, but since books were undamaged I decided to keep it. It is still a bit disappointing though. Great price though and it shipped very quickly.
