Book Reviews of Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man: A Novel
Book Review: A laugh on every page.
Summary: 5 Stars
Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fanny Flagg was probably the funniest book I've ever read. Not only is it funny, it is well written and has a great story line. Daisy Fay also features some great, believable, and lovable characters which is a trademark of Fanny flagg. Basically, we follow the life of Daisy Fay Harper, a 12 year old girl living in Mississippi. We watch Daisy grow from a rough 12 year old tomboy to a 17 year old actress. Daisy also deals with some more serious problems such as her dad's drinking habits and her parent's divorce. All in all, this is definatly one of my favorite books by Flagg and one of my all time favorites.
Summary of Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man: A Novel
In Fannie Flagg?s high-spirited first novel, we meet Daisy Fay Harper in the spring of 1952, where she?s ?not doing much except sitting around waiting for the sixth grade.? When she leaves Shell Beach, Mississippi, in September 1959, she is packed up and ready for the Miss America Pageant, vowing ?I won?t come back until I?m somebody.? But in our hearts she already is.Sassy and irreverent from the get-go, Daisy Fay takes us on a rollicking journey through her formative years on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. There, at The End of the Road of the South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as ?sincerity is as valuable as radium?), and Daisy Fay?s Daddy hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized characters in modern fiction.
