The one and only Fannie Flagg, beloved author of Fried
Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Can’t Wait to Get
to Heaven, and I Still Dream About You, is at her
hilarious and superb best in this new comic mystery novel
about two women who are forced to reimagine who they
are.
Mrs. Sookie Poole of Point Clear,
Alabama, has just married off the last of her daughters and
is looking forward to relaxing and perhaps traveling with
her husband, Earle. The only thing left to contend with is
her mother, the formidable Lenore Simmons Krackenberry.
Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the
most part, an overbearing presence for her daughter. Then
one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a secret about
her mother’s past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly
calls into question everything she ever thought she knew
about herself, her family, and her future.
Sookie begins a search for answers that takes her to
California, the Midwest, and back in time, to the 1940s,
when an irrepressible woman named Fritzi takes on the job of
running her family’s filling station. Soon truck drivers are
changing their routes to fill up at the All-Girl Filling
Station. Then, Fritzi sees an opportunity for an even more
groundbreaking adventure. As Sookie learns about the
adventures of the girls at the All-Girl Filling Station, she
finds herself with new inspiration for her own life.
Fabulous, fun-filled, spanning decades and
generations, and centered on a little-known aspect of
America’s twentieth-century story, The All-Girl Filling
Station’s Last Reunion is another irresistible novel by
the remarkable Fannie Flagg.
