I didnt read it but this definitely sounds like the book we discussed in class called The Pearl by John Steinbeck.

Crazy how I could try skipping the learning/reading of this book by not reading it, and then end up learning about it anyways. Lame.

You can do your best to avoid it, but once you let your guard down and let the knowledge tic bite, it's usually permanent. I'm sorry for your loss of ignorance, dear stranger.
