The Whole Town's Talking by Fannie FlaggMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.0/5.0 - Interesting concept for a book, reminiscent of Thorton Wilder's Our Town or Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology: Poems and Verse About Rural American Life. It follows the history of Elmwood Springs, Missouri from its pioneer days through the present day. I didn't realize when I picked it that it was the last book in a series about this town, which may have spoiled the previous books, but it worked fine as a stand alone novel.
If you like the folksy tone of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe and a looking for a laidback book, this one is for you.
