«Tomates verdes fritos: en el café de Whistle Stop» is the novel by Fannie Flagg, published by RBA in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
Evelyn Couch, dissatisfied with her life, meets elderly Ninny Threadgoode at a nursing home, who confides memories of Whistle Stop, a town in Alabama, and of Idgie and Ruth, two young women who ran a café during the Great Depression. The narrative alternates that past with the present, and the local weekly's columns complete a portrait of love, friendship, violence, and humor.
First installment of the Whistle Stop, AL series. Belongs to the Cine para Leer collection, no. 10. The novel was adapted into a movie in 1991 by Jon Avnet, with Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy.
Readers of Southern and historical fiction with female protagonists, and those who remember the 1991 film of the same name.
