The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion

Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015--San Antonio

I just finished reading The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg.  It's the first book I've read by her although I have known of her through TV and radio appearances for decades and have seen the film version of her book Fried Green Tomatoes.  The book I read had scattered moments of great humor that made me laugh aloud, but the book as a whole is not a humorous novel.  It's a very interesting tale about what makes a family and includes a wonderful side story related to flying women both as barnstormers and as WASPs during WWII.  I gave the book 3 stars out of 4.
