Evelyn, now in her middle age, suffers from the fatigue of marriage and the boredom of life.
By chance, when accompanying her husband to visit her mother-in-law in the nursing home, Evelyn met Nini, a lonely and talkative 86-year-old lady.
Trapped in a vicious cycle of overeating, Evelyn shared snacks and desserts with Nini while she listened to her fragmented tale of a town called Whistle Town over 50 years ago...
When the naughty and lively tomboy Aggie met the ladylike Ruth, she knew she had met the most important person in her life.
Witnessing Ruth's domestic violence after her marriage, Aggie and her friends worked hard to rescue Ruth and took in Ruth's son as their own. Together they opened a cafe, where their signature dish was fried green tomatoes.
The people of Whistletown are of all kinds: chattering housewives, men with slicked-back hair, black servants, and unkempt homeless people—all gathered in this small cafe. A picture of the daily life of the American South unfolds slowly...
The whole book of Fried Green Tomatoes adopts a dual narrative line: modern Evelyn and old lady Nini - Aggie and Ruth in the 1930s, are written in an intertwined manner.
The narrative is varied but not chaotic, and the writing style deliberately disrupts the timeline. However, the three forms of Nini's memories, the author's third-person writing, and the "small town news brief" by the wife of the Whistle Town Post Office complement each other in the previous and next chapters to ensure the integrity, interest and drama of the story.
