Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here?
Life is the strangest thing. About a minute, Mrs. Elner Shimfissle is up in her tree, picking figs, and the following point she knows, she is off by using an adventure she never imagined, running into people she never in a million years expected to meet. Meanwhile, back, Elner’s nervous, high-strung niece Norma faints and winds up during intercourse with a cold rag on her head; Elner’s neighbor Verbena rushes immediately to the Bible; her truck driver friend, Luther Griggs, runs his eighteen-wheeler into a ditch–and the complete town is thrown for a loop and left wondering, “What's life all about, anyway?” Aside from Tot Whooten, who owns Tot’s Tell It ENJOY IT Is Beauty Shop. Her main concern is that the end of the world might come before she can collect her social security.
In this comedy-mystery, those near and dear to Elner discover something wonderful: Heaven is actually right here, right now, with people you love, neighbors you help, friendships you retain. Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven is proof once more that Fannie Flagg “was put on this earth to write” (Southern Living), spinning tales as sweet and refreshing as iced tea over a summer day, with a little extra kick thrown in.
