Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a now-classic novel about two women: Evelyn, who’s in the sad slump of middle age, and grey-headed Mrs Threadgoode, who’s telling her life story. Her tale includes two more women — the irrepressibly dare-devilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth — who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, offering good coffee, southern barbecue, and all kinds of love and laughter — even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present will never be quite the same again.
