Fannie Flagg is true to herself—a little old-fashioned, devilishly charming, and heartfeltly ironic. "Standing Under the Rainbow" is a novel that brings together many of the characters and personages from the author's other books. In the cozy provincial town of Elmwood Springs, everyone knows everyone else, but the lives of its inhabitants are known from hundreds of miles away, all thanks to Neighbor Dorothy—a woman with a smiling voice who runs the town radio and tells the whole country about the life of her hometown. And life is quite varied and fascinating, for every townsperson here is unique, with their own quirks and conceits. Take, for example, Blind Bird—a girl with a heavenly voice and a courage that any sighted person would envy. There's also Cecil, the king of the funeral business, and shy Betty Ray, destined to become governor of the state, and reckless Aunt Elmer, and her upstanding niece Norma, and many, many others. This book is a veritable carousel of characters and destinies, of laughter and tears, of the incredible and the mundane. But above all, this is a novel about time and how the world is beautiful in any era—you just have to be able to see the beauty and happiness behind the everyday. And Fannie Flagg knows how to tell this story better than anyone.
