The All Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion by Fanny Flagg
Fannie Flagg is an author,who everyone can agree, is fun, light hearted and a great storyteller. I have only read one other book of hers, but enjoyed Fried Green Tomatoes when made into a movie. Of course the response is "you have to read the book!"
The book starts out with the character Sookie Poole of Point Clear, Alabama.  Sookie has just married off the last of her daughters and was ready to settle in with her husband and an empty nest. Having received an odd phone call about a letter that is to be delivered to her mother, Lenore, Sookie intercepts the letter. The letter had information involving her past, her family and everything she knew to be true.
The story weaves between Sookie’s present life and the lives of Fritzi Jurdabralinski and her 3 sisters. The story of the Jurdabralinski sisters is set in the 1940’s, during the war, in Pulaski, WI.  Fannie Flagg gives us a lesson on the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) and the difficulties women had being treated as equals.  Got a little bogged down with the WW2 bomber jargon, a little too text book. The cast of characters more than made up for the history lessons.
If you are wanting something easy going, funny, with a little mystery, this is it! I really enjoyed this book. It made me smile and I felt happy when I came to the end.
