HTML:A funny, serious, and compelling novel by Fannie Flagg, author of the beloved Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (and prize-winning co-writer of the classic movie).
??[This] tale of tough, eccentric, endearing women who first endure and then prevail. . . . will make you laugh out loud??and shed a few tears. . . . Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! is another rattling success.???Richmond Times-Dispatch
Once again, Flagg's humor and respect and affection for her characters shine forth. Many inhabit small-town or suburban America. But this time, her heroine is urban: a brainy, beautiful, and ambitious rising star of 1970s television. Dena Nordstrom, pride of the network, is a woman whose future is full of promise, her present rich with complications, and her past marked by mystery.
Among the colorful cast of characters are:
Sookie, of Selma, Alabama, Dena's exuberant college roommate, who is everything that Dena is not; she is thrilled by Dena's success and will do everything short of signing autographs for her; Sookie's a mom, a wife, and a Kappa forever
Dena's cousins, the Warrens, and her aunt Elner, of Elmwood Springs, Missouri, endearing, loyal, talkative, ditsy, and, in their way, wise
Neighbor Dorothy, whose spirit hovers over them all through the radio show that she broadcast from her home in the 1940s
Sidney Capello, pioneer of modern sleaze journalism and privateer of privacy, and Ira Wallace, his partner in tabloid television
Several doctors, all of them taken with??and almost taken in by-Dena
There are others, captivated by a woman who tries to go home again, not knowing where ho… (altro)

". . . Poor little old human beings - they're jerked into this world without having any idea where they came from or what it is they are supposed to do, or how long they have to do it in. Or where they are gonna wind up after that, But bless their hearts, most of them wake up every morning and keep on trying to make some sense out of it. Why, you can't help buy love them, can you? I just wonder why more of them aren't as crazy as betsy bugs." --Aunt Elner, 1978

Incipit
Dati dalle informazioni generali inglesi.Modifica per tradurlo nella tua lingua.
Everyone in Elmwood Springs and thereabouts remembers the day they put the radio tower in Neighbor Dorothy's backyard, and how excited they were that night when they first saw the bright red bulb on top of the tower, glowing like a cherry-red Christmas light way up in the black Missouri sky.
---------------------------------------- from the Preface:
In the late forties Elmwood Springs, in southern Missouri, seems more or less like a thousand other small town scattered across America.
