The Whole Town's Talking
By Fannie Flagg
I chose this book because it's written by the same author as "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe" which I seem to remember reading a very long time ago and enjoying.
This is chic lit, about a small town in the U.S. originally settled by Swedish immigrant farmers. The novel follows the progress of the town through it's founding members and their offspring, through the days of farms and farmers up to current times and beyond.
One quirky feature is that those who die and are buried in the local cemetery talk and comment on the lives of those still living from wherever they are after they die.
Cute, easy read.
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommendation: Easy reading.
