Description
Wisconsin, 1941. When the men go off to war, Fritzi, along with her sisters, is forced to learn “men’s” professions—from repairing apartments to managing special transport. They take the reins of the family filling station into their own fragile hands. Stereotypes and skepticism? They can go to hell! They aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and are determined to prove that they choose their own path. But their peaceful life doesn’t last long: for the war effort, courageous women pilots are needed…
Alabama, 2005. The perfect housewife Suzy Pool can finally breathe easy—she has married off the last of her daughters, and now all she wants is to rest from the bustle and live a little for herself. But a chance discovery literally knocks Suzy for a loop, transporting her to the 1940s—to four unstoppable sisters whose wartime adventures force them to rethink who they are and what they can do.
Fannie Flagg, unrivaled, creates a whole tapestry that unfolds the story of five generations, stretching across the entire twentieth century—from prewar Poland to modern Alabama. This bold, witty, and moving story is about finding oneself and female friendship; about memory preserved through generations; and about women—hardworking and brave—who were not afraid to take fate into their own hands and change it forever.
