I found this book a mixed bag. Some of it was sweet, some sentimental, but that didn't bother me. What did bother me was all the jumping around of chapters. Back and forth and all over the place as to time and place. It made me a little seasick! Trying to keep track of all that was a nuisance and at one point I realized she had made a mistake in the date because she followed a very short entry that was headed The Forever Slim Lodge, Montecito, California, December 5, 1986, with the subsequent entry that was said in the text to be some later, the character having waited until the following spring, and was headed Whistle Stop, Alabama, April 8, 1986. If you tried to make sense of the dates, it only drove you (or at least me) nuts. It was not great but a fun read, in spite of some annoyance. ( )

"Tomates Verdes Fritos" es una novela inolvidable escrita por Fannie Flagg que teje hábilmente dos historias entrelazadas: una ambientada en la década de 1980 en Alabama, y otra en la década de 1920 en el mismo lugar. A través de estos relatos, Flagg te sumerge en un mundo de amistad, amor, resistencia y superación.

La narrativa principal sigue a Evelyn Couch, una mujer de mediana edad que se siente atrapada en una vida monótona y sin sentido. Su encuentro fortuito con Ninny Threadgoode, una encantadora anciana residente en un hogar de ancianos, desencadena una amistad poco probable que cambiará la vida de Evelyn para siempre. A medida que Ninny comparte historias de su pasado y de las coloridas personalidades que poblaron la ciudad de Whistle Stop en la década de 1920, Evelyn encuentra inspiración y fortaleza para enfrentar sus propios desafíos.
