schnoebs13 's review for:
Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man
by Fannie Flagg
3.5⭐️
Being one of my friend’s favorite books, I was excited to read it. It was hard to get into originally with the stream of consciousness writing style but I eventually got into it. Set up as the diary of Daisy Fay, we follow her through her life starting at 11 and into her late teens. Set during a time of southern tradition, strict family roles for a wife and husband and a time when things outside of the normal were not always accepted, we see Daisy experience life and learn a lot as she grows up and is constantly moving due to a variety of circumstances.
Not my go to genre for reading but I’m happy I read it. There were some funny bit and the ending was touching. Even though I personally loved a lot about the 1950s, this was a real good reminder about the strict gender roles, lack of acceptance and rights of minorities and lgbtqia+ but there was really good representation throughout the entire book. I really appreciated that Daisy was a lot more opened mind than the general public this book was set in.
