Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Perfection. The setting. The characters. The nonlinear format. The way it traces the lives of women through time. The LGBT representation. The commentary on race.

This seemingly casual and almost conversational story contains so much that I'm still surprised. It's full of honest, endearing, small town stories that I think many people would be able to relate to, and I didn't expect to enjoy it so much.
