The Whole Town's Talking by Fannie Flagg

The last title that I read by this popular contemporary author was "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe". However she has penned several books since then which have all received good reviews. If you enjoy a light-hearted story about life in these United States, you will want to read her novels. Her storylines tend to follow the path of ordinary lives and are filled with positive thoughts and laughter, peppered with all those things that happen in a typical life.

In this book we are introduced to Lordor Nordstrom, who emigrated to Missouri from Sweden. The story shows how the town developed through the decades and depicts friendships, marriages, deaths, births, accomplishments and resilience in all of the people who live in this small town. The story has a soft ending but you really need to read it for yourself so I'll not got into it here.

A bit of light reading for a change.
