Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe By
Fannie Flagg 
 
Folksy and fresh, endering and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s: of grey-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in a sad slump of middle age.
