My favorite part of this book was when Evelyn Couch went to go and pick up Mrs. Threadgoode’s belongings that she left for her. After she picked the things up from Mrs. Threadgoode’s neighbor, Mrs. Jonnie Hartman, they went for a tour of Whistle Stop, Alabama. This is my favorite part of the book because this is when you truly see how one place in the world has affected the lives of many, even if they had never been there before or if that is the only home they knew. This place has a special charm that has helped to create the relationships between Idgie and Ruth, Evelyn and Mrs. Threadgoode and between all of the other Threadgoodes. The stories that Mrs. Threadgoode told to Evelyn changed her, she was pulled out of her mood. She will never forget Mrs. Threadgoode and her thrilling stories that she told. Mrs. Threadgoode was a dear friend to Evelyn and you can see it when she is taking a tour and reliving all of the stories.
