Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café by Fannie
Flagg, narrated by, Lorna Raver
This book has everything I as a southern fiction reader love,
quirky characters, a little mystery and strong women. I have seen this movie
many times but had never read the book and thought it was about time I remedied
that with the audio version narrated by the always wonderful Lorna Raver.
I liked these characters so much, the true friendships were
fabulous the way they all come together to protect their own, it made me want
to live in Whistle Stop. I liked the back & forth in time through the
storytelling. I wish Mrs. Threadgood had lived to see Evelyn’s transformation
that she had so much to do with, I enjoyed this storyline of the empty nester
trying to figure out who she is and loved her “coming of age” story. Of course
Idgie is a great character a woman born way before her time and her
relationship with Ruth is so special and I like how it is up to the reader if
they are a lesbian couple or just good friends. Every character in this book
brings something to the table and it is a book that stays with you.
As I said I listened to this on audio narrated by Lorna Raver
who is always a perfect choice in southern fiction!
There are so many reviews of this book that I will leave you
with if you like southern fiction this book is a must read!
4 Stars
