Fried Green Tomatoes….

…just to hear the name perks your interest. What is this about? Who would serve something like that? The name of a book really tells a lot about the book and this one in particular. I know it is not a new book and some of you might have read it already, but I want to mention it here anyway. The title Fried Green Tomatoes, makes you think of something different and almost exotic and Fannie Flagg has managed to give us just that. She has created a story that contains the most love & conflicts, old & new, racism & tolerance and a mystery. A story that takes us back to one time in a recent past and at the same time tells us about life here and now.
Her characters are strong and easy to like, even the minor characters are someone you would want to know more about. They are not only complementing the main characters but also create a story on their own.
If you haven’t yet, read it! Then watch the film, it is good as well.
