The Whole Town’s Talking by Fannie Flagg

Elmwood Springs, Missouri, is a small town where everyone knows everyone—and even after death, they still have plenty to say. From its founding by Swedish immigrants to the modern day, generations of residents live, love, laugh, and gossip their way through life—and the afterlife. When the townsfolk begin to “wake up” in the cemetery, they find that their stories are far from over.

In her trademark blend of humor, warmth, and wisdom, Fannie Flagg spins an unforgettable tale about the bonds that endure, the beauty of small-town life, and the mysteries that connect us all—both in this world and the next.
