I couldn't put this book down once I got through the first couple of "postings", it is not so much chapters as it is occasional news from near and far, current and future. I did see the movie way back when and I know I liked it, but I bet I didn't know half of what was going on now that I've read the engaging novel by Fannie Flagg, set in the South, with a touch of history, a little commentary from the WWII era, and a lot of southern cookin'. The characters are varied and intertwined and although I usually get lost with so many, I had no trouble with this rich, intriguing cast. Although my copy fell apart (it was decades old!), do go to your library or find a digital copy even if you saw the movie (well, unless you hated it!) I suspect most people like me would ADORE this story (middle aged woman from the midwest).
