Representaion In Favor Of Books Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man
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.

I loved this book! At first, I thought, "Why did I choose to read this? Ugh, it's a diary, with random thoughts of a sixth grader, yuck!" Then I started laughing out loud. Next thing I knew, I couldn't put it down. I had a few nights when I got little sleep because I had to read "just one more day", which it never was. I had a few days when I was a little late to work because I had to read "just one more day", which it never was. I recommend this book to anyone who grew up in the South, toThis is a coming of age tale of a young girl who dares to look at life with great optimism and sense of fun despite the fact that she is lives the unfortunate circumstance of a child with an alcoholic parent. Her father and mother's troubled marriage and her father's scheming and drinking do not dampen her zest for life, her creativity, or her spunk. Her story is shared in a diary style, yet tells far more than a diary. Daisy Fay is a maturing female who likes to write and she treasures her
I liked the first 100 pages of this book and really appreciated the fresh, funny voice of the 11-year-old narrator. She seemed like the embodiment of that age as I remember it. I eventually tired of the story though and honestly didn't think a lot of the things that happened to her were funny.
I did enjoy the end of the book more than the beginning, but it was hard for me to want to keep going through this. I have to admit that I like Ms. Flagg's later books much better!
No. I hated the way this was written. I enjoy Flagg usually for what she does but this story was just a string of sentences thrown together. Try another first.PS. I just read where this is her first book... she gets better
A coming of age story as told by the main character Daisy Fay. Daisy Fay is a spunky, feisty and imaginitive 11 year old girl who is surrounded in life by a wide range of quirky characters. Some of the people in her life are helpful and caring, but some are poor role models who make for some difficult moments in her life. The story takes you through Daisy's life up until she is 18. Her observations on the people and events in her life are, at times, laugh out loud hilarious.This is the first
Quite seriously, this is the funniest book I have ever read and has become one of my favorites of all time. This is Flagg's first book, written in a diary format of an 11-year-old girl who grows up in Mississippi spanning until she is 16 years old. Either Flagg was related to some of the oddest people on the planet, or, more likely, she has a remarkable sense of comic description. There's little plot in the book, rather it's a series of anecdotes about growing up in the South in the 1950s. The
