Standing under a rainbow (new cover). Flag F.

Fenny Flagg is true to himself - a little old -fashioned, damn charming and sincerely ironic. “Under the Rainbow” is a novel in which many of the heroes and characters of the other books of the writer gathered. In the provincial-yielding town of Elmwood-Springs, everyone knows each other, but they know about the life of his inhabitants for hundreds of kilometers, and all thanks to the neighbor Dorothy-a woman with a smiling voice who heads urban radio and all the country talks about how he lives- Elmwood-springs are doing, where every citizen is special, with his own quirks and fanaberia. Here, for example, a blind bird's bird is a girl with a divine voice and courage, which any sighted will envy. Or Bobby is a boy who lives every day in his fantasies hundreds of lives, which does not prevent him from showing off such a thing, from which the whole town is numb. There is still Cecil, the king of the funeral business; and shy Betty Ray, who is destined to become the Governor of the state; and a reckless aunt Elmer; and her correct niece is the norm; And many, many others. In this book, a real carousel from characters and fate, from laughter and tears, from incredible and ordinary. But first of all, this is a novel about the time and that the world is beautiful in any era - you just need to be able to see beauty and happiness for the husk of everyday life. And Fenny Flag can tell about this better than anyone else in the world.
