Mrs. Sookie Poole has survived the last of her daughters' three weddings and can finally breathe easy and prepare to travel with her beloved husband. True, in her care is a formidable and powerful mother, 87 years old. This extravagant lady will not let anyone get bored and commands her 60-year-old daughter as if she were still 15. But for everyone else, the old lady is a charm. But one day Sookie discovers completely shocking information about her birth, her mother and her roots. From this moment on, the life of the Poole family is turned upside down. Trying to understand the secrets of the past, Sookie learns not only the story of her own origin, but also the story of the brave female pilots of World War II. The wonderful storyteller Fanny Flagg again gives readers an amazing and almost incredible story. The twentieth century in five generations, from the gloomy pre-war Poland to the languid Alabama of our days: heroic female pilots and simple housewives are connected by one fate, one story. “Only Girls at the Gas Station” is the perfect combination of comedy, wisdom, sadness and unforgettable characters that seem to have migrated from Fannie Flagg's masterpiece "Fried Green Tomatoes."
