Description

Childhood friends Clare and Irene are both light-skinned enough to pass as white, but only one of them has chosen to cross the colour line and live with the secret hanging over her. Clare believes she has successfully cut herself off from any connection to her past, but Irene is living as a middle-class Black woman with her husband and children in Harlem, taking on an important role in her community and embracing her origins.

As they re-examine their relationships with each other, with their husbands, and with the truth, they are forced to confront their most closely guarded fears. Nella Larsen's powerful and tragic writing explores the many fraught ways in which we seek to survive, a nuanced and timely exploration that remains as relevant today as it was when first published.
