Fannie Flagg is true to herself - a bit old-fashioned, devilishly charming, and intimately ironic. "Standing Under the Rainbow" is a novel that brings together many of the heroes and characters from the writer's other books. In the provincial and cozy town of Elmwood Springs all know each other, but the life of its inhabitants are known and hundreds of miles away, and all thanks to Neighbor Dorothy - a woman with a smiling voice, who runs the town radio and the whole country tells about how lives, lives her hometown. And how it lives is very diverse and fascinating, because every citizen here is special, with his own quirks and fanaberias. For example, there is Blind Bird Singer, a girl with a divine voice and courage that any sighted person would envy. Then there's Cecil, the king of the funeral business, and the shy Betty Ray, destined to become governor of the state, and the reckless Aunt Elmer and her proper niece Norma, and many, many others. This book is a veritable carousel of characters and fates, of laughter and tears, of the improbable and the ordinary. But above all, it is a novel about time and the fact that the world is beautiful in any era - you just need to be able to see the beauty and happiness behind the everyday husks. And Fanny Flagg knows how to tell about it better than anyone else in the world.
