Noelia's Contribution.
As promised, I've read the Fried Green Tomatoes at Whistle Stop sequel, The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop, written by Fannie Flagg and published in 2020, thirty-three years after Fried Green tomatoes became a bestseller at the beginning of the nineties.
The sequel invites readers to plunge once again into Threadgoode's family history. On this occasion, the main story focuses on Bud Threadgoode and his daughter. At the same time, some of the most remarkable characters, such as Evelyn Couch from Fried Green Tomatoes, appear delighting readers with her captivating personality.
Nonetheless, I must confess that the first part of the book is a bit predictable, whereas the second part is extraordinarily entertaining, laughing page after page with Bud's mischief.
I suppose this book hasn't met my high expectations. For this reason, I recommend reading this book before reading Fried Green Tomatoes at Whistle Stop because, as I see, The Wonder Boy is the perfect introduction to the first book.
If you are interested, here I leave this link with the author's biography:
Thanks a lot Noelia for your cobtrobutions, you are always recommending interesting books
