Description
Published in 1929, Nella Larsen's Passing is a powerful novella that explores the complexities of identity, race, class and gender. The elegant Clare Kendry navigates the high-society circles of New York, while her childhood friend Irene leads a life that openly embraces her African American heritage.
A chance encounter between the two women sets off a chain of events that reveals a relationship of mutual fascination, obsession and secrets. As their paths continue to cross, the consequences of their choices become devastatingly clear.
First published in 1929, Passing is a landmark work of the Harlem Renaissance era, cementing Nella Larsen's place as one of the most important female authors in American literature.
