It was written in 1924 and the title comes from Paradise Lost , her father named her so, because she was his Precious Bane..she had Graves Disease. Her stories were brooding tragic love stories.
PBS made it a movie years ago, starring Janet McTeer as Prudence (with a "hair lip" & Clive Owen ( )..it was so well done, a good story.

One of my favorite books. I don't often read books again and again because I read so SLOWLY, but this one I have.
Clive Owen, huh, that's yummy casting. But as the brother or the weaver?

There is a Yiddish word that is close to the meaning we assumed PreciousBane meant: POTCHKA. It means to be busy without purpose, which fits in with the PreciousBane goals of kicking back for five to seven days.
But plotz does seem to sound better, doesn't it?
