Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
by Fannie Flagg - 416 p - Published May 7th 2002 by Random House - setting: Iowa & Alabama - Characters: Ruth, Mrs. Ninny Threadgoode, Evelyn Couch, Idgie - made into movie - stand-alone - hardcoverMPG: Fiction / Historical > Historical Fiction / Womens Fiction > Chick Lit / Glbt / Classics / American > Southern
It's first the story 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.
