Acknowledgments

From the Inside Flap

Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the

now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to

Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women--of the

irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth--who back in the thirties ran a little place in

Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present--for Evelyn and for us--will never be quite the same again...
