I loved this charming book. How could you not? The characters are so real and memorable, the story is so perfect. I haven't stayed up all night for a book in a long time, I couldn't wait to see what happened next and I've seen the movie (which is also fantastic).

Mrs. Threadgoode was such a sweet and charming old girl. Evelyn Couch was an un-happy housewife who needed a change. Together and with help from Idgie and Ruth they became close friends, and exactly what each other needed.

I cannot recommend this book enough, it really is unforgettable.
