I happened upon Baby Girl and when I saw it had been penned by the author of Fried Green Tomatoes (an absolute favourite film) I bought it. Am I glad I did. One of those rare books I hated finishing - wanted it to go on and on. The characters are simply wonderful and I could imagine myself in that little town with them, living the simple life. Ahhhhhh. A highly recommendable book. Anxiously awaiting another book from Ms Flagg. Cheers - Deirdre from Down Under

Pepper Pivar I throughly enjoyed every moment or page reading Welcome Home Baby Girl. I have read this delightful delightful story and have recommended it to anyone who will listen to me. This is the first time I have ever done this. Believe it or not I intend to read this book at least one or two or even three more times.

Danielle Being an avid fan of Fried Green Tomatoes, I was initially disappointed to see that Flagg had strayed from her traditional Southern utopia, but it didn't take me more than a few chapters to fall in love with this fresh cast of characters. I am using Flagg's books for a Senior (high school) Thesis, and this is the best novel (over all) I've read yet. I'm dying for her to write a sequel!!

Fernanda I must confess that I came to read this book long before "Green fried tomatoes" and it really captivated me. I loved the human warmth that transpires from every one of the book pages, I easily fell in love with the characters that became so real, so vivid that at times you feel you know exactly how they look and what they think. Reading this book was pure delight for me and I warmly recommend it to everyone who enjoys a good, heart-wrenching story.

Laura This book was a bit of a disappointment as I was really expecting another story like "Fried Green Tomatoes." I love Fannie Flagg but she left the south for this one and ended up in the 1970's Manhattan. It's not her best work, but also not a terrible read.

Abigail As I finished this book for the first time I turned to the front to begin reading again. It is a captivating story, made all the more so through the way in which the tale is told from so many viewpoints, with the ordinary lives of the characters described so well you feel you know them intimately. The storytelling is compelling and you are well able to imagine such characters existing and follow their train of thought. As the story unfolds slowly you become less and less able to put this book down- I highly recommend it.
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
