* READ THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE FILM PRECIOUS * This 25th
Anniversary Edition includes a new preface from Tayari Jones, and a
new afterword by the author. This is the story of Precious Jones, a
sixteen year old illiterate black girl who has never been out of
Harlem. She is pregnant by her own father for the second time, and
kicked out of school. Placed in an alternative teaching programme,
she learns to read and write. This is Precious's diary, in which
she honestly records her relationships and her life. 'The Color
Purple for the nineties' Vogue 'Sapphire's vibrant, unindulgent
first novel has you cheering the awesome Precious on until the last
page' Mail on Sunday 'Has all the power and vehemence of
rap...brutal in its defence of the vulnerable' Independent 'Part
wishful prayer, part manifesto, mingling poetry and
humour...splendid, turbulent, bracing language...its music takes
you over, its story grips... A voice to remember' Scotland on
Sunday 'Harrowing yet hilarious... packs a powerful punch' Guardian
