A review by ocurtsinger
The Beans of Egypt, Maine by Carolyn Chute

3.0

ONE OF the most beautiful passages I have ever read in literature: "She gives the paper with the vegetables a heave over the side of the bridge, and it flaps down like a white dove shot in midflight--with an explosion of onions and tomatoes and so forth."

Also makes me hungry for a Maine-made Italian sub.
