PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
The people in Miss Flagg's book are as real as the people in books can <br>be. If you put an ear to the pages, you can almost hear the characters <br>speak. The writer's imaginative skill transforms simple, everyday events <br>into complex happenings that take on universal meanings. <br>-- Chattanooga Times <br> This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love <br>of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten. <br>-- Los Angeles Times <br> A sparkling gem. <br>-- Birmingham News <br> Watch out for Fannie Flagg. When I walked into the Whistle Stop Cafe she <br>fractured my funny bone, drained my tear ducts, and stole my heart. <br>-- Florence King, Author of Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady <p> Admirers of the wise child in Flagg's first novel, Coming Attractions, <br>will find her grown-up successor, Idgie, equally appealing. The book's <br>best character, perhaps, is the town of Whistle Stop itself--too bad <br>trains don't stop there anymore. <br>-- Publisher's Weekly
