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. . . .
