| Plot Summary of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe |
|---|
"There are different types of chapters - one is a woman in a nursing home (1980s) telling a 40ish insecure woman about her small hometown of Whistle Stop, another type of chapter is the story she is telling. In Whistle Stop there is racism, bonding, families, and the occasional murder with a "heart-warming" but humourous story. Book the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" is based upon."
