Sapphire : Precious
- description
- additional information
Precious is the fictional diary of
Claireece Precious Jones. Obese, illiterate and sexually abused by both
her parents, Precious gives birth, aged 12, to a "Down sinder" daughter,
and is expelled from school when her second incestuous pregnancy is
discovered. Sapphire is unflinching in her exploration of ignorance and
deprivation yet Precious's painful progress is leavened by moments of
searing innocence and instinctual tenderness, and gradually her stunted
prose begins to vibrate with energy and warmth. However, Precious's emotional integrity is threatened by an increasingly insistent ideological subtext: Alice Walker's The Color Purple is a looming presence and ultimately risks making Precious appear a heavy-handed social critique.
