Walking Across Egypt, by Clyde Edgerton
Fiction: 227 pp.
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. . .
