The Vanishing Half

 Brit Bennett, 2020

Twins, inseparable as children, choose to live in two very different worlds, one black and one white.  Brought up in a small Southern town, Desiree and Stella run away together at age 16.  Their experiences lead to a changed racial identity for one of them.  Although they become separated by distance, their lives continue to intertwine.   This family story covers four decades from the 1950’s to the 1990’s,  exploring race, gender and identity.
