The beloved Fannie Flagg is back and at her irresistible and
hilarious best in I Still Dream About You, a comic
mystery romp through the streets of Birmingham, Alabama,
past, present, and future. Meet Maggie Fortenberry, a
still beautiful former Miss Alabama. To others, Maggie’s
life seems practically perfect—she’s lovely, charming, and a
successful real estate agent at Red Mountain Realty. Still,
Maggie can’t help but wonder how she wound up in her present
condition. She had been on her hopeful way to becoming Miss
America and realizing her childhood dream of someday living
in one of the elegant old homes on top of Red Mountain, with
the adoring husband and the 2.5 children, but then something
unexpected happened and changed everything. Maggie
graduated at the top of her class at charm school, can fold
a napkin in more than forty-eight different ways, and can
enter and exit a car gracefully, but all the finesse in the
world cannot help her now. Since the legendary real estate
dynamo Hazel Whisenknott, beloved founder of Red Mountain
Realty, died five years ago, business has gone from bad to
worse—and the future isn’t looking much better. But just
when things seem completely hopeless, Maggie suddenly comes
up with the perfect plan to solve it all. As Maggie
prepares to put her plan into action, we meet the cast of
high-spirited characters around her. To Brenda Peoples,
Maggie’s best friend and real estate partner, Maggie’s life
seems easy as pie. Slender Maggie doesn’t have to worry
about her figure, or about her Weight Watchers sponsor
catching her at the Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. And Ethel
Clipp, Red Mountain’s ancient and grumpy office manager with
the bright purple hair, thinks the world of Maggie but has
absolutely nothing nice to say about their rival Babs “The
Beast of Birmingham” Bingington, the unscrupulous estate
agent who hates Maggie and is determined to put her out of
business. Maggie has heartbreaking secrets in her
past, but through a strange turn of events, she soon
discovers, quite by accident, that everybody, it seems—dead
or alive—has at least one little secret. I Still
Dream About You is a wonderful novel that is equal parts
Southern charm, murder mystery, and that perfect combination
of comedy and old-fashioned wisdom that can be served up
only by America’s own remarkable Fannie Flagg.
