Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The beloved Fannie Flagg is at her irresistible and hilarious best in I Still Dream About You, a comic mystery romp through the streets of Birmingham, Alabama, past, present, and future.
Meet Maggie Fortenberry, a still beautiful former Miss Alabama. To others, Maggie’s life seems practically perfect—she’s lovely, charming, and a successful agent at Red Mountain Realty. Still, Maggie can’t help but wonder how she wound up living a life so different from the one she dreamed of as a child. But just when things seem completely hopeless, and the secrets of Maggie’s past drive her to a radical plan to solve it all, Maggie discovers, quite by accident, that everybody, it seems, has at least one little secret.
I Still Dream About You is a wonderful novel that is equal parts southern charm, murder mystery, and that perfect combination of comedy and old-fashioned wisdom that can be served up only by America’s own remarkable Fannie Flagg.

I Still Dream of You
1By NomorebelkinWow, Flagg needs to join this century. Could not finish it because of the racist right wing tone!A sweet book
5By JennydreamerI’ve always loved Fanny Flagg-her stories never disappoint. This is a sweet, hopeful, and funny book.Intriguing, curious, compassionate
5By San Juan SailorHeartwarming tale of the human endeavor, the character’s lives are rich with the ups and downs of choices. I had to keep reading and never wanted it to end, but when I finished this book I had a feeling it was time.Such a great read
5By LavendergoatsI’ve spent time lately with new authors and occasionally get wowed by a turn of phrase, only to get irritated at all the plot slips and misses. Ms. Flag has her storytelling down. It is not formulaic, but robust, complete and delightful.Title was okay
5By palhcIntriguing and enjoyable. Unusual plot with a feel good ending. I have most of Fannie Flagg’s books in hardback and plan to reread them.I still dream about you!
5By clkids777I just loved this book! I really enjoyed all the characters and especially the mystery of Edward/Edwina. Everyone can relate to this book in one way or another.
