Fannie Flagg's new book, "The Whole Town's Talking"--so far it's delightful--full of detail about life in the South, very much like "Fried Green Tomatoes" and Flagg's other books.
This chronicles the founding and founders of Elmwood Springs, MO. The catch is that much of the dialogue comes from Still Meadows, the town cemetery! It reminds me a bit of "Spoon River Anthology".
It's hard to put down!
