April's meeting will be held, as usual, on the third Tuesday of the month which in this case, is April 19th. We'll meet at Tara Bushman's home and our discussion will be on the book, "Walking Across Egypt" by Clyde Edgerton.
Tara reports that this is a light, easy read for our busy, stress filled lives, and that it is comic relief. So treat yourself to some smiles and come enjoy the friendships.
From Amazon: "An unpretentious, finely-crafted novel that will linger with the readers like the last strains of a favorite hymn. It is more enjoyable than a pitcher full of sweet tea and one of Mattie's home-cooked dinners."--The Atlanta Journal & Constitution
She had as much business keeping a stray dog as she had 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 78, might be slowing down just a bit. When young, 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 witty, down-home and real, Walking Across Egypt is a book for everyone.
