As charming as other books by this author. Funny and poignant all the way through

“4 A Fun Time Phone Fanny” [Sorry folks in Aus]. Fannie Flagg and her loveable characters never fail to delight. Elner Shimfissle of Elmwood Springs, Missouri, falls from a ladder while picking figgs and the fun begins. Her niece Norma and Norma’s hubby Macky, Sunny the cat and a whole boatload of other good citizens of Elmwood Springs, will show what caring CAN, (but often doesn’t) occure in Small Town, USA. Such a fun read. Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven by Fannie Flagg.

You know Fannie Flagg. Nobody reads Fannie Flagg and lives in the South without saying, “I know that guy. I know that lady.” Wacky Southern characters with a powerful love for life. I’m happy I read this book before I mailed it off.

This was a great, upbeat, funny at times look at the impact one person's life can have on those around them. I want to read everything she's written after reading this one. ...more
