Narration In Pursuance Of Books Walking Across Egypt

She has as much business keeping a stray dog as she would walking across Egypt–which not so incidentally is the title of her favorite hymn. She’s Mattie Rigsbee, an independent, strong-minded senior citizen who, at seventy-eight, might be slowing down just a bit. When teenage delinquent Wesley Benfield drops in on her life, he is even less likely a companion than the stray dog. But, of course, the dog never tasted her mouth-watering pound cake. Wise and witty, down-home and real, Walking Across Egypt is a book for everyone.

Criticize Epithetical Books Walking Across Egypt

This is my second Clyde Edgerton book and another fun experience full of quirky Southern characters, but not too much so, and situations that have you alternately chuckling and shaking your head. If I were to provide much of the plot it could interfere with others' future enjoyment of the story so I'll reduce the story to basics. There is the older Southern woman, a church-going woman who would love some grandchildren, there is a dog catcher, there are nosy neighbors, there are here unmarried

I was offered this book by a friend, Mandee Strong. The cover isn't much to speak of, and that's typically how I judge a book. A look a the slow, Christian life of a 78-year-old woman who tries to do her best and loves to cook.Overall, I'm at the stage of life where I look forward to being a 78-year-old lady with nobody to tend to except myself, So this story made me excited to grow old.Notes:*For deodorant she uses baking soda and water.*She stresses if she hasn't done her dishes right away and

Meh.

This was one of those "grab it off the shelf" things that happened serendipitously at the library when I was walking down an aisle sideways, hoping a title would pop out. I didn't need another book on my nightstand--I already had a stack, but when I read the dust jacket I knew it would be a fun read. I loved it! How a male author can nail the voice of an elderly lady so well, I have no idea, but it was perfect. Now I'm off to find his other books. I love discovering a new author I love!

I enjoyed this book. I deducted a star for a gratuitous use of the N-word during a baseball reference. I just could not see the point of it. It also had a lot of religious references that got tiring after a while. I did love Mattie and the cast of characters with all of their faults. Im not religious but we could use more Christians in the world like Mattie who truly believed helping folks was the only way to be. Truth is, most Christians these days dont act that Christian, but not Mattie, she

All My Children, a television soap opera that aired on ABC for 41 years, from January 5, 1970 to September 23, 2011, makes it into Walking Across Egypt as a minor character. I have never watched All My Children or any other soap opera but I do know what makes a soap opera and have read a few books that I think would qualify. But forty-one years? Am I that old? I guess so.But I did watch The Andy Griffith Show so I know that seventy-eight year old Mattie Rigsbee must be related to Aunt Bee. They

I've had this book for decades, tried several times to read it, but couldn't get interested. After reading an article about Clyde Edgerton in this morning's paper, I started it again, loved it, and read half the book this afternoon.* * * * *I must not have opened the book when I took it on vacations in the past. This is a wonderful little book, very sweet and heartwarming, exciting and funny. I want to go live with Miss Mattie and eat her country cooking!
