I quite liked this book because it went by decade by decade. Oddly though, it skimmed through the modern decade with brevity and... everybody dies. Or do they? Obviously a spiritual journey for everyone, Flagg addresses "death" and the "transience of life" with humor and heartwarming wit. I do have to say though, I really hate that one nasty character, and what did the blind sweet daughter ever do to deserve him?! Fannie Flagg is always my favorite go to when Science Fiction gets old. BUT I was slightly disappointed at the ending where, all the people at the afterlife community of Elmwood Springs fade and disappear. I'm only slightly mollified by the suggestion of reincarnation. My attachment to all those characters~ I mean, Fannie, you just left us on the brink! I was even doing really well at remembering and recalling which families started which generation, and how this current character met this other character, and so on... but it just ended!
