Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe: A Novel

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)

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