The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?
Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins.
As with her New York Times-bestselling debut The Mothers, Brit Bennett offers an engrossing page-turner about family and relationships that is immersive and provocative, compassionate and wise.

故事非常吸引人,涉及种族和gender的话题,更是成长和家庭,逃离和认识自我。

二月份读到36%最近重新开始读情节完全忘记了。一查居然中文版都出了,惊了,没想到这本书居然能在国内过审。// 前半部分情节很吸引人,用词也都有点小俏皮。后面推进的过于快了有点点戛然而止的感觉。种族、少数群体、女性、原生家庭,这些都有涉及,不过稍有点浅尝辄止(以我粗浅匮乏的阅读英文书籍的经历,这本书的描写还是有点意思的)
