“The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop” focuses on Buddy Jr., Ruth’s son, who lost an arm in an accident.
“He winds up in a retirement home in Atlanta, and he wants to go home, so he escapes from the nursing home,” Flagg said. “The town of Whistle Stop is closed down and he can’t find it, but he reconnects with Evelyn Couch and they bring the town back.”
IMHO this sounds like a perfect escape from Covid, Holiday hustle and bustle and just life in general......  |
I have spent the last two evenings re-connecting with Sipsey, Big George, Ruth, Idgie, Evelyn, Ninny, Buddy, and a whole other cast of characters from Whistle Stop and beyond!
This is a gem of a good book!
The perfect book to curl up and escape life from if only for a few evenings or so.
