Fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe [text (large print)] / Fannie Flagg.

Flagg, Fannie, (author.).

Summary:

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. - back of book

Fannie Flagg began writing and producing television specials at age
nineteen and went on to distinguish herself as an actress and a writer in
