The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

Bennett's second novel was named a Best Book of 2020 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, NPR,  USA Today, Vanity Fair, and Harper's Bazaar--just to name a few.  The New York Times review raves, “Bennett’s gorgeously written second novel, an ambitious meditation on race and identity, considers the divergent fates of twin sisters, born in the Jim Crow South, after one decides to pass for white. Bennett balances the literary demands of dynamic characterization with the historical and social realities of her subject matter.”
