The one and only Fannie Flagg, beloved author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven, and I Still Dream About You, is at her hilarious and superb best in this new comic mystery novel about two women who are forced to reimagine who they are, and what they are capable of.

Mrs. Sookie Poole has just married off the last of her three daughters and is looking forward to relaxing and perhaps traveling with her husband Earle. The only thing left to contend with now is her mother, the formidable and imposing Lenore Simmons Krackenberry. Never an easy task. Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the most part, an overbearing and exhausting burden for her daughter. Then one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a shocking secret about her mother’s past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself, her family, and her future.

Feeling like a stranger in her own life, and fearful of confronting her mother with questions, Sookie’s search for answers takes her to California, the Midwest, and back into the 1940s, when an irrepressible woman named Fritzi takes on the job of running her family’s filling station. With so many men off to war, it’s up to Fritzi and her enterprising younger sisters to keep it going. Soon truck drivers are changing their routes to fill up at the All-Girl Filling Station. But before long, Fritzi sees an opportunity for an even more groundbreaking adventure, when she receives a life-changing invitation from the U.S. military, to assist in the war effort.

The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion is a perfect combination of comedy, mystery, wisdom and charm, by the one and only Fannie Flagg. Fabulous, fun-loving, spanning decades, generations, and centered in a little-known aspect of the twentieth century story, The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion is Fannie Flagg, the bestselling “born storyteller” (New York Times Book Review), at her irresistible best.
