Spencer: Book Club: “The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion” by Fannie Flagg
February 17, 2025 @ 1:00 pm–2:00 pm
Join likeminded literature lovers each month in Spencer at the As the Page Turns book club!
In February, the group will discuss “The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion” by Fannie Flagg.
Mrs. Sookie Poole of Point Clear, Alabama, has just married off the last of her daughters and is looking forward to relaxing and perhaps traveling with her husband, Earle. The only thing left to contend with is her mother, the formidable Lenore Simmons Krackenberry. Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the most part, an overbearing presence for her daughter. Then one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a secret about her mother’s past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself, her family, and her future. Sookie begins a search for answers that takes her to California, the Midwest, and back in time, to the 1940s, when an irrepressible woman named Fritzi takes on the job of running her family’s filling station.
