HTML:<b>The bestselling author of <i>Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe</i> is at her superb best in this fun-loving, moving novel about what it means to be truly alive.<br /></b><br /> <b><i>New York Times</i> Bestseller</b> <ul> <li><b>Southern Book Prize Winner</b><br /> Elmwood Springs, Missouri, is a small town like any other, but something strange is happening at the cemetery. Still Meadows, as it's called, is anything but still. Original, profound, <i>The Whole Town's Talking,</i> a novel in the tradition of Thornton Wilder's <i>Our Town</i> and Flagg's own <i>Can't Wait to Get to Heaven,</i> tells the story of Lordor Nordstrom, his Swedish mail-order bride, Katrina, and their neighbors and descendants as they live, love, die, and carry on in mysterious and surprising ways.<br /> Lordor Nordstrom created, in his wisdom, not only a lively town and a prosperous legacy for himself but also a beautiful final resting place for his family, friends, and neighbors yet to come. "Resting place" turns out to be a bit of a misnomer, however. Odd things begin to happen, and it starts the whole town talking.<br /> With her wild imagination, great storytelling, and deep understanding of folly and the human heart, the beloved Fannie Flagg tells an unforgettable story of life, afterlife, and the remarkable goings-on of ordinary people. In <i>The Whole Town's Talking,</i> she reminds us that community is vital, life is a gift, and love never dies.<br /> <b>Praise for <i>The Whole Town's Talking<br /></i></b>"A witty multigenerational saga . . . [Fannie] Flagg's down-home wisdom, her affable humor and her long view of life offer a pleasant respite in nerve-jangling times."<b>—<i>People</i></b><br /> <br /> "Fannie Flagg at her best."<b>—<i>The Florida Times-Union</i></b><br /> <br /> "If there's one thing Fannie Flagg can do better than anybody else, it's tell a story, and she outdoes herself in <i>The Whole Town's Talking</i>. . . . Brilliant . . . equally on the level as her famous <i>Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe</i>."<b>—<i>The Newport Plain Talk</i></b><br /> <br /> "Delightful."<b><i>—The Washington Post</i></b><br /> <br /> "A ringing affirmation of love, community and life itself."<b>—<i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i></b></li> </ul>.
