Walking Across Egypt

Title: Walking Across Egypt

Author: Clyde Edgerton

Summary: A 70+-year-old widow who lives on her own has the energy of someone much younger and loves to cook for anyone who will come to her house. This is the story of how a juvenile delinquent comes into her life.

Recommendation: An incident in the beginning of the book actually made me laugh out loud--something I haven't done while reading in years. It made me excited to read the rest of the book. But there was too much foul language after that, and the ending didn't quite live up to my expectations.
