Description
The Beans of Egypt, Maine introduced the world to the notorious, unforgettable Bean clan of small town Egypt, Mainefrom wild man Reuben, an alcoholic who can’t seem to keep himself out of jail; to his cousins, the perpetually pregnant Roberta, and Beal, a man gentle by temperament but violent in defeat who marries his pious neighbor, Earlene Pomerleau before poverty kills him. Through her story of the Beans’s struggle with their inner demons to survive against hardship and societal ignorance, Chute emerged as a writer of immense humanity and unparalleled insight into a world most of us knew little ofif we’d recognized it at all. - from Amzon
