Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man

Fannie Flagg’s debut novel, the inimitable writer who brought us “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “The Shivering Sands Cafe.”

Set in America’s 1950s slums—fried bacon aromas, lotto games, strange neighbors, and big dreams of Hollywood. This is the life of little Daisy Fay. Her father makes up stories endlessly and drinks even more; her mother worries endlessly about everything. Trying to make sense of—and capture—this funny, awkward, sometimes sad, and seemingly boundless world around her, Daisy starts keeping a diary. In it, she tells everything without holding back: about her father and his eccentric impulsive ideas, about his friend who dusts the fields from a plane, about a killer living next door, about a mother who sometimes wants to kill her husband herself, about a society lioness, a debutante ball, a resurrection from the dead… about all the wonders that fill her life.
“Daisy Fay and the Miracles” is a heartfelt, unique coming-of-age story. We watch the heroine’s path: from a small dreamer to a sarcastically bold, piercingly honest, charming and witty girl—one who rightfully became part of the most beloved characters of contemporary literature.
In Anastasya Shumilina’s talented performance, Daisy Fay’s story sounds especially vivid and moving.
