READERS GUIDE

Remember, the key to dressing like a character is not just about the clothes but also about embodying the character’s spirit and personality. A Look at Fannie Flagg’s Biography and Works If you’re cosplaying Evelyn, go for the 1980s style with colorful blouses, skirts, and big hair. Add a touch of transformation as the character evolves in the story. The Perfect Slice: For the perfect crispy fried green tomato it is important to slice the tomato thin and evenly. I recommend using a mandoline to do this step, but you can do it with a sharp knife and cutting board as well. Avoid slicing the green tomatoes larger than ¼ of an inch. Any larger and the tomatoes will not get crispy and chip-like.

Evelyn Couch, a timid housewife in her 40s, meets elderly Ninny Threadgoode at an Alabama nursing home. Evelyn's husband, Ed, has an aunt living there. Over several encounters, Ninny tells Evelyn about the long-abandoned town of Whistle Stop and its residents. The film's subplot concerns Evelyn's dissatisfaction with her marriage, her life, her growing confidence, and a developing friendship with Ninny. The narrative switches several times between Ninny's story set between World War I and World War II, and Evelyn's life in 1980s Birmingham. Each of these books showcases Flagg’s storytelling skills and her ability to create memorable characters and narratives.
