Description

Within this lyrically composed, hauntingly sexy book, Bret Lott brings alive the taste and wonder of the water-covered swamps and backlands of Sc's Lowcountry in a tale that's both secret and rite of passage. At fifteen, Huger ("you state it YOU-gee") Dillard already understands a good deal concerning the methods for the planet--approximately he believes. He might not need a dad, but with the assistance of his impaired "Unc," Leland, and vacations spent in the Hunt Club--a system of woods and swamp owned by his household--Huger understands about the property and the routines of its fauna, from deer for the pompous Charleston physicians and attorneys who come to hunt them. But nothing could prepare him for the events that start to occur when Unc and he come across your body of the well-to-do Charleston normal on the land.Who wished him dead?
