Summary: Marvelous book
Review: Precious Bane is an incredibly rich, lovely story, told in a manner that seems almost faerie-like, though incisively real in its depiction of human nature. It's about a young woman born with a hare-lip in 19th-century rural England, and how she comes to win (and be won by) the fine young man who is the desire of her heart.It's a great book for teens because, among other elements in its complex theme, it is concerned with true feminine beauty, which resides in purity and virtue. The story is moving, and lingers long after the book is through. Definitely one you'll keep in your mind's collection.
