New York Times Bestseller â€¢ Southern Book Prize Winner

Elmwood Springs, Missouri, is a small town like any other, but something strange is happening at the cemetery. Still Meadows, as itâ€™s called, is anything but still. Original, profound, The Whole Townâ€™s Talking, a novel in the tradition of Thornton Wilderâ€™s Our Town and Flaggâ€™s own Canâ€™t Wait to Get to Heaven, tells the story of Lordor Nordstrom, his Swedish mail-order bride, Katrina, and their neighbors and descendants as they live, love, die, and carry on in mysterious and surprising ways.

Lordor Nordstrom created, in his wisdom, not only a lively town and a prosperous legacy for himself but also a beautiful final resting place for his family, friends, and neighbors yet to come. â€œResting placeâ€ turns out to be a bit of a misnomer, however. Odd things begin to happen, and it starts the whole town talking.

With her wild imagination, great storytelling, and deep understanding of folly and the human heart, the beloved Fannie Flagg tells an unforgettable story of life, afterlife, and the remarkable goings-on of ordinary people. In The Whole Townâ€™s Talking, she reminds us that community is vital, life is a gift, and love never dies.
