The Vanishing Half by Britt Bennett

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett is a powerful, multi-generational novel about twin sisters who choose to live in very different worlds—one Black, one passing as white. As their lives diverge, the choices they make ripple across decades, shaping their families in unexpected ways.

With grace and emotional depth, Bennett explores race, identity, and belonging in America. A beautifully told story about what we run from, what we return to, and who we become along the way.
