nickieandremus 's review for:
The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop
by Fannie Flagg
***I received an advanced e-copy from Net Galley & the publisher in exchange for my honest review
Bud Threadgoode, you remember Ruth's son from "Fried Green Tomatoes", is all grown up now. Now that he has lived his life, married & had a daughter, been in the military & then owned his own veterinary practice, he has been reminiscing about his life back in Whistle Stop. So he sets off on an adventure, doing a runner from the assisted living facility he has been living at, and makes the journey back there only to discover the town no longer exists. What he does find is a new friend, someone who knew some of his family. They swap stories and memories from the good old days and Bud learns that home isn't necessariiy just a place.
I loved this book. In between the story about Bud and his daughter in the current day, there were stories, emails, newsletters, & all sorts of things from when Bud was growing up. So we get to relive some of the magic of Whistle Stop, of Idgie & Ruth, of Ms. Evelyn & Ninny. This is a fun, light read that will leave you with a smile on your face. I highly recommend it.
