The Vanishing Half (2020)

Book
The Vanishing Half
7.9/10on Open LibraryPublished
Twin sisters build very different lives after leaving their Louisiana community, and their daughters inherit questions the sisters have answered differently. Bennett uses racial passing to make secrecy both a personal choice and a condition imposed by unequal opportunities. The appeal lies in how mother-daughter bonds and sisterhood keep unsettling any simple verdict on who left whom behind.
