Synopsis
Combining Southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here?, Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here? Life is the strangest thing. One minute, Mrs. Elner Shimfissle is up in her tree, picking figs, and the next thing she knows, she is off on an adventure she never dreamed of, running into people she never in a million years expected to meet. Meanwhile, back home, Elner's nervous, high-strung niece Norma faints and winds up in bed with a cold rag on her head; Elner's neighbor Verbena rushes immediately to the Bible; her truck driver friend, Luther Griggs, runs his eighteen-wheeler into a ditch-and the entire town is thrown for a loop and left wondering, "What is life all about, anyway?" Except for Tot Whooten, who owns Tot's Tell It Like It Is Beauty Shop. Her main concern is that the end of the world might come before she can collect her social security. In this comedy-mystery, those near and dear to Elner discover something wonderful: Heaven is actually right here, right now, with people you love, neighbors you help, friendships you keep. Can't Wait to Get to Heaven is proof once more that Fannie Flagg "was put on this earth to write" (Southern Living), spinning tales as sweet and refreshing as iced tea on a summer day, with a little extra kick thrown in., Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here?

    Enter small town living with our future summed up.

    If you have even a smidgen of country/rural life in your background, you will get a kick out of the language. Humorous and poignant text. I enjoyed reading it so much that I bought 3 additional copies for family members.

  • Can't Wait to Get to Heaven by Fannie Flagg

    In typical Fannie Flagg style, this book is set in a small town in the South with stereotypical characters who are both amusing and somewhat cartoonish in their thinking and actions. The story centers around the "death" of an elderly woman, the reactions of her friends and family. She has a journey in "death" then returns to the living, as it apparently isn't her time yet. This is an entertaining and easy book to read and if you like a light-hearted story, it's the one for you!

  • It's a Wonderful Life in Elmwood Spring MO!

    This is Fannie Flagg's third trip to Elmwood Spring MO and what a thoroughly enjoyable trip it is. Jam packed full of quirky characters, just like you'll find in every small town across America, you can't help but become emotionally invested in their lives. Aunt Elner is a priceless gem and I am proud to know someone very much like her in real life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to spend some time chuckling and perhaps shedding a tear or two but coming away feeling just a little more optimistic about the state of the world.

  • Entertaining read
