Mrs. Suki Poole has survived the last of her daughters' four weddings and can finally take a deep breath and prepare for a trip with her beloved husband. However, she has a formidable and domineering 88-year-old mother in her care. This extravagant lady will not let anyone get bored and commands her 60-year-old daughter as if she were still 15. But for everyone else, the old lady is charm itself. But one day, Sookie discovers completely shocking information about her birth, her mother, and her roots. From that moment on, the Poole family's life is turned upside down. Trying to figure out the secrets of the past, Sookie learns not only the story of her own origin, but also the story of the brave women pilots of the Second World War. Wonderful storyteller Fanny Flagg once again gives readers an amazing and almost incredible story. The twentieth century in five generations, from gloomy pre-war Poland to languid Alabama of our days: heroic female pilots and simple housewives are connected by one fate, one story."There are only girls at the gas station" is the perfect combination of comedy, wisdom, sadness and unforgettable characters, as if they migrated from Fanny Flagg's masterpiece "Fried Green Tomatoes".
