This book describes a young man's experiences during WWII as he moves from Alabama to New Mexico for his senior year of high school. It shows his adaptation to a variety of cultural and geographical changes en route to becoming an adult. The war is treated almost as a separate character in terms of the impact it had on the people on the home front. The characters are memorable. The wry wit and satirical humor made me laugh out loud frequently. l found it warm and engaging.

Wrong kind of book for a vegan to read; all kinds of animal cruelty going on here. I suppose it's a book for people not familiar with New Mexico, as they'll think it's realistic or something.

I love this book, read as a teen and never forgotten.

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.
