"In the summer of 1944, Frank Arnold, a wealthy shipbuilder in Mobile, Alabama, receives his volunteer commission in the U.S. Navy and moves his wife, Ann, and seventeen-year-old son, Josh, to the family's summer home in the village of Corazon Sagrado, high in the New Mexico mountains. A true daughter of the Confederacy, Ann finds it impossible to cope with the quality of life in the largely Hispanic village and, in the company of Jimbob Buel--an insufferable, South-proud, professional houseguest--takes to bridge and sherry. Josh, on the other hand, becomes an integral member of the Sagrado community, forging friendships with his new classmates, with the town's disreputable resident artist, and with Amadeo and Excilda Montoya, the couple hired by his father to care for their house. Josh narrates the story of his fateful year in Sagrado and, with irresistibly deadpan, irreverent humor, describes the events and people who influence his progress to maturity. Unhindered by his mother's disdain for these tacky, dusty little Westerners, Josh comes into his own and into a young man's finely formed understanding of duty, responsibility, and love"--]cProvided by publisher.

I have worn our four paperback copies of this book and am now ordering it in hardcover. To me, it is one of the finest novels I have read. Being from New Mexico, and remembering prewar years there, there may be some personal identification. Love the characters, love the story. Also loved the movie.

Not my thing
A friend suggested this book so I was hopeful. However, I found that it was not a story that struck a responsive chord. The review I read likened it to "Catcher In the Rye", and I must admit that I would have steered shy if I had seen the review before purchasing. The author showed some skill, but the characters and events were too unfocused to be enjoyable or appealing to me. I found little to suggest real people or situations. Better luck next time!
