A Lesson Before Dying Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

PG

Besides a tumble in the hay, er, sugarcane fields, there isn't a lot of steaminess happening in A Lesson Before Dying. The most provocative word is "nipple."

Sure, you wouldn't want your grandmother to read that sexytimes scene out loud to you as a bedtime story. Ew. But it's not the kind of thing that would have you plugging up your ears and singing an off-key rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" if the audiobook version of A Lesson Before Dying happened to be playing on a family road trip.
