Fannie Flagg

Just finished the book "Can't Wait to get to Heaven - A Novel" by Fannie Flagg. It is a wonderful book, as are any books I've ever read by Fannie Flagg. She does quirky humerous character studies of quirky humerous characters. This book is about Elner Shimfissle, a 90+ year old lady, who climbs up the ladder into the fig tree her back yard, and a bunch of wasps swarm out and sting her, and she falls off the ladder and dies and goes to heaven and sees bunches of people who were dead (including Ginger Rodgers!), but then the doctors save her (after a lovely obit is already written!), and she is forced to come back to life. I won't tell you any more of it, but that is just the start of the story, and it's really a good read. I think I've now read all of Fannie Flagg's books, which are "Standing in the Rainbow", Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!: A Novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe, (which is the one everyone has heard of because they made a movie of it)A Redbird Christmas: A Novel and Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man
