About this listen

 As 80-year-old Mrs Cleo Threadgoode tells Evelyn Couch her life story, she escapes the Rose Terrace Nursing Home and returns to Whistle Stop, Alabama, in the 1930s. She tells the tale of two women: the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend, Ruth, who, back in the 30s, ran a little place offering good barbecue, good coffee, all kinds of love and laughter, and even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present, for Evelyn and for us, will never be quite the same.©1987 Fannie Flagg (P)1992 Random House, Inc. Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Psychological

If you are after the entire book as I was, this is not it. It's misleading as it does not state so anywhere in the description nor on the cover.

Warning: Abridged Version.

Love this book to bits, I do wish there was the unabridged audio version out there though! I was excited to rediscover one of my favourite book. Other than that, narration is amazing :)
