Set in the 1800s in the wild countryside of Shropshire, Precious Bane tells the haunting story of Prudence Sarn, a passionate girl marked by a harelip and burdened by the superstitions of her community. Prue's love for her homeland and her hopeless affection for Kester Woodseaves, a weaver, unfolds amidst the tumult of her brother Gideon, whose recklessness threatens their fates. This poignant narrative, winner of the 1926 Prix Femina Vie Heureuse Prize, explores themes of beauty, hope, and tragedy.
