Thirteen year old Berry Jackson has more good sense that all the bible-thumping grown-ups in her hometown of Pinetta, FL. In the woods behind Berry's house are the swamp and the snakes and the quicksand, where men are said to have been swallowed up whole, leaving only a hat or a hankerchief as evidence.
As Hot As It Was You Ought To Thank Me tells the story of the long hot summer when Berry's father disappears, her mother lusts after the preacher, and a handsome convict comes to town to repair the dusty roads damaged by a hurricane.
This is a wonderful coming-of-age story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
