  • "A folksy, funny, endearing and affecting, southern-fried tale about two very special friendships."
  • "Evelyn, in the midst of a midlife crisis, meets old Mrs. Threadgoode who describes life in the small town of Whistle Stop, Alabama during the 1930s. Her tale is the love story of two women -- the irrepressible tomboy Idgie, and gentle loveable Ruth -- who opened the cafe which provided barbeque, coffee, love, laughter, and even an ocasional murder. Some strong language."

  • "Evelyn Couch is a middle-age woman who has hit a slump in 1985 Birmingham, Alabama. Ninny Threadgoode is 87 and currently residing at the Rose Terrace Nursing Home.

  • "Een oude dame vertelt over de vaak komische wederwaardigheden rond een door twee vrouwen bestierd dorpscafé in het zuiden van de V.S. in de jaren dertig."
  • "The Whistle Stop Cafe is owned by sweet, patient Ruth, and by Idgie, irrepressibly big-hearted and big-mouthed. As elderly Cleo chats with her visitor Evelyn Couch, she casts a hypnotic narrative spell: honeysuckle vines and custard pies, births, deaths and marriages; sorrow and laughter, an occasional murder and even the recipe for fried green tomatoes."
  • "[This is a] novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women - of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth - who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present - for Evelyn and for us - will never be quite the same again ... -Back cover."
