Sad and extremely moving--belies much of the loud rhetoric about endemic character flaws among the poor.

Intressant skriven, stundvis väldigt grafisk och tar upp väldigt mörka teman såsom incest, våldtäkt och pedofili osv. Handlingen följer den 16 åriga Precious som är analfabet och bor i Harlem, New York. Läsaren bevittnar hur hon kämpar sig genom sitt hårda och orättvisa liv.
Detta är en relativt kort novell och har ett öppet slut. Läsaren vet hur det kommer att sluta för Precious men inte hur pass mycket hon kommer att åstadkomma innan. Önskar därefter att denna novell vore lite längre.
Rekommenderas enbart om läsaren klarar av att hantera dessa ovanstående mörka teman.… (altro)
