I really enjoyed this book, I’m a sucker for historical fiction. This novel definitely is a southern adventure. I loved all the characters and it’s as good as the movie. I wish certain characters had more of a story but I really understand Evelyn. I need to go make all of Sipseys recipes 😭. I love how food is a character here, the news articles were funny. I do have to give 4 stars because of unfortunately how the black characters are written. It being based in the early 1920/1930s and actually written in the 80s. There are a lot of flaws here. I feel like Miss. Flagg didn’t mean harm and honestly this is a better historical representation of the last book I read. Definitely some magical nergoes here but ya know. I’ve read Stephen King it is what it is. Also the book is a little too long and a little yappy. Making this a screen play was a good idea because I liked the changed ending.
