“Bud Threadgoode grew up in the bustling little railroad town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, with his mother Ruth, church-going and proper, and his Aunt Idgie, the fun-loving hell-raiser.
( Read my review of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe here) I finally got around to reading the book a few years ago and recently re-read it in anticipation of the sequel. The themes of female empowerment and strong bonds of friendship appeal to me in such a visceral way. I watched and re-watched the movie dozens of times when I worked at a store that sold videos. Fried Green Tomatoes has to be one of my favorite movies of the 1990’s.
