Fried Green Tomatoes Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the name of a novel by Fannie Flagg. It is a multigenerational story of an unfulfilled housewife who befriends an elderly woman in a nursing home. The older woman tells her life story in the now-abandoned town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, and helps the younger woman to cope with her own life. In the process, the novel explores racism in the American South, sexual roles, domestic violence (spousal abuse), and the thinly-veiled lesbian relationship of the central two young women, who after one is rescued from her abusive spouse, set up a household and raise the first woman's son together.
