Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg 395 pages Elderly Mrs. Threadgoode relates the story of her life and of her best friend, Ruth, who ran the Whistle Stop Cafe in Alabama in the thirties I love the movie, but I had never read the book. It was so interesting (of course the book is always better) to see how the details of Idgie and Ruth are different in the book. I loved the way the author described the charaters and the setting in that time and place. I could see it so much more clearly, than even in the movie. I loved meeting more of their family in the book. #bookisbetter #historicalfiction
