Fried green tomatoes at Whistle Stop Cafe
American bestseller for the first time exclusively in Czech edition!
"The day Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison opened their Whistle Stop Cafe, the town was transformed for the better. It was during the Great Depression and many of us felt at home in their café. You could have eggs, cornmeal grits, bacon, fried ham, coffee and a smile for 25 cents. Ruth was the cutest girl you could ever meet. And Idgie? She was a character, I'll give her that. You've never known anyone more stubborn. But how anyone could think she killed the guy, I really don't understand."
Evelyn meets an elderly lady, Mrs Threadgoode, at the Rose Terrace Nursing Home who tells her the compelling story of a long friendship and a fascinating journey through life, the message of which Evelyn accepts as her own, and finally takes her life into her own hands.
Based on the book, director Jon Avnet made the famous 1991 film Fried Green Tomatoes, nominated for Oscars and Golden Globes in several categories - starring Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker.
