Fannie's people experience life's sings and arrows, just like the rest of us, and sometimes they come out whole and sometimes not. But no complaints from me, the good guys keep the upper hand. Fannie's books are a series of sorts, but lucky us they can be read in any order so you pick up any one you find without worrying about what came before. What a delicious book to read! So many wonderful characters living in Elmwood Springs, Missouri. Dorothy, who does a 1/2 hour radio show every day at 9:30 am, her children Anna Lee & Robert, her husband Doc (the local pharmacist) and all of the neighbors, friends, etc. Such a heart-warming book with good and bad. You are taken into decades of peoples lives and you fall in love with everything that they do in growing. For my thoughts: Standing in the Rainbow sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Then there is Tot Whooten, the beautician whose luck is as bad as her hairdressing skills; Beatrice Woods, the Little Blind Songbird; Cecil Figgs, the Funeral King; and the fabulous Minnie Oatman, lead vocalist of the Oatman Family Gospel Singers. The time is 1946 until the present. The town is Elmwood Springs, Missouri, right in the middle of the country, in the midst of the mostly joyous transition from war to peace, aiming toward a dizzyingly bright future. Once again, Fannie Flagg gives us a story of richly human characters, the saving graces of the once-maligned middle classes and small-town life, and the daily contest between laughter and tears. Fannie truly writes from the heartland, and her storytelling is, to quote Time, "utterly irresisti Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
