I've never seen the movie, which I knew only the name. I must also have had a priori wondering how green tomatoes can be tempting.

This is delicious: the characters above, to which is attached and which is very difficult to leave the anedoctes in sequence and sometimes make us laugh, sometimes move us, but increasingly bind us to the little life Whistle Stop. Fannie Flagg, even if it does so in a too complacent manner, we present the South from the 30s to today, with the Klux Klux Klan racial hatred and inequality, the harshness of life in time of the stock market crash but mostly it revived solidarity and convivilité people who helped each other in misery and that made them enjoyable life. Besides the Ninny said, even if they lived difficult moments, his youth Whistle Stop will remain the most beautiful and happiest period of his life.
