About this book

Fannie Flagg's charming book "Standing in the Rainbow" is set in Elmwood Springs, Missouri, and spans the years 1946–present. Neighbor Dorothy, whose radio broadcasts keep everyone informed, and her inventive ten-year-old son, Bobby, are two of the town's lively characters. We also learn more about Aunt Elner, the intriguing Hamm Sparks, and the mysterious Minnie Oatman. The novel expresses themes of comedy, sadness, and the tenacity of small-town life throughout the post-war transition.
