Good news! Fannie’s back in town--and the town is among the
leading characters in her new novel. Along with Neighbor Dorothy, the lady with the smile in her
voice, whose daily radio broadcasts keep us delightfully
informed on all the local news, we also meet Bobby, her
ten-year-old son, destined to live a thousand lives, most of
them in his imagination; Norma and Macky Warren and their
ninety-eight-year-old Aunt Elner; the oddly sexy and
charismatic Hamm Sparks, who starts off in life as a tractor
salesman and ends up selling himself to the whole state and
almost the entire country; and the two women who love him as
differently as night and day. Then there is Tot Whooten, the
beautician whose luck is as bad as her hairdressing skills;
Beatrice Woods, the Little Blind Songbird; Cecil Figgs, the
Funeral King; and the fabulous Minnie Oatman, lead vocalist
of the Oatman Family Gospel Singers.The time is 1946 until
the present. The town is Elmwood Springs, Missouri, right in
the middle of the country, in the midst of the mostly joyous
transition from war to peace, aiming toward a dizzyingly
bright future. Once again, Fannie Flagg gives us a story of richly human
characters, the saving graces of the once-maligned middle
classes and small-town life, and the daily contest between
laughter and tears. Fannie truly writes from the heartland,
and her storytelling is, to quote Time, "utterly irresistible."
