What the whole town is talking about

Elmwood Springs, located in Missouri, is a small town that resembles hundreds of cozy American towns. But it has two peculiarities. First, it was created by Fannie Flagg, and it is a whole universe of characters scattered across different novels of the author, which have become literary classics. Secondly, there is a cemetery near the town where something strange and wonderful happens... In 1889, a young Swede who moved to America established the first farm, and within a couple of decades, a cozy village with kind and hardworking residents grew around his house. Over the years, the village turned into a town. Elmwood Springs thrived, people were born and died there, and each had their own special story. The magnificent storyteller Fannie Flagg created an entire world inhabited by ordinary people, but so cozy and charming that sooner or later, anyone reading her books wishes to move there. The new novel can be called a guide to the works of Fannie Flagg, gathering characters from many of her books—from "Fried Green Tomatoes" to "Only Girls at the Gas Station." It is a gift for everyone who agrees with Fannie’s sentiment: "life is a gift, and love is immortal."
