It tells the story of Pecola Breedlove, a young African-American girl living in the wake of the Great Depression. Pecola is considered “ugly” due to her dark skin and behavior, which leads her to feel inferior and yearn for blue eyes, a symbol of “whiteness” for her. The story is mainly narrated through the eyes of Claudia MacTeer, the daughter of Pecola’s temporary foster family. The book delves into themes of racism, incest, and child abuse, leading to attempts to ban it from U.S. schools and libraries.
