"As eighty-year old Mrs Cleo Threadgoode tells Evelyn Couch about her life, she escapes the Rose Terrace Nursing Home and returns in her mind to Whistle Stop, Alabama in the thirties where the Whistle Stop Cafe provides good barbecue, good coffee, love and even an occasional murder."

This is a truly beautiful novel! I couldn't stop reading and its story has stuck with me ever since I finished the last page. I think this book is one you never quite forget! I recommend it to everyone who likes a touching story!

This arrived in the mail today from Portugal! Thank you, virgulina, I'm looking forward to reading this book.

So glad that I finally took this one off the shelf! Enjoyed it very much. I really didn't have any idea what it was about beforehand. Stories about some people who resided in a small Alabama town, told at different times from different perspectives--an old woman's recollections, a local newsletter, narrative, etc. It skips around in time, but it wasn't difficult to follow. A good book.
