Beschreibung:
Fannie Flagg began writing and producing television specials at the age of nineteen and went on to distinguish herself as an actress and writer in television, films and the theatre. She is the author of many bestsellers including Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! and A Redbird Christmas. Flagg's script for Fried Green Tomatoes was nominated for both the Academy and Writers Guild of America awards and won the highly regarded Scripters Award. She lives in Alabama and California.
Meet Maggie Fortenberry. Her life seems pretty much perfect - she's beautiful, charming and successful, just as you'd expect of a former Miss Alabama. But in fact, Maggie is perfectly miserable. By now she should have been living in an elegant house with an adoring husband and children. Instead, she makes a living selling that dream to others - though her estate agency business has lately been going from bad to worse.
So Maggie comes up with the perfect plan to end it all. And that's when strange things start happening. As Maggie finds herself catapulted into one surprising discovery after another, she learns valuable lessons about the nature of friendship, the challenges of modern life and the dangers of impossible dreams. She also learns that everybody, dead or alive, has at least one little secret...
Maggie Fortenberrys Leben scheint perfekt. Sie ist schön, charmant und erfolgreich. Doch hinter der Fassade sieht es etwas anders aus, denn statt in einem schönen Haus mit Mann und Kindern zu wohnen, verkauft sie diesen Traum an andere. Als die Immobilienkrise dann auch noch einsetzt, beschließt sie ihrem Leben eine neue Wendung zu geben. Und genau da beginnen, seltsame Dinge zu passieren.
Part murder mystery, part feel-good comedy, a new novel from Fannie Flagg which bursts with Southern charm and good old-fashioned wisdom.
