A surprisingly delightful book, Fannie Flagg’s [b:Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe|9375|Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe|Fannie Flagg|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1165961740l/9375._SY75_.jpg|2129359] is a pretty great read. This story largely shifts between Idgie and Ruth at the Whistlestop Cafe in the past, and the antics of Evelyn Couch and Ninny Threadgoode in the present (the mid-1980s). Running themes include various ways that people can be undervalued and dehumanized, but also how they can be healed through genuine human connections with others. Admittedly, the narrative can be ridiculous and saccharine at times, but overall it is still quality entertainment with a heart of gold.
