Description

Clare Kendry has built a life of elegance and deception. Married to a man who is unaware of her African-American heritage, she has severed all ties to her past. When she renews her acquaintance with her childhood friend Irene, who has not hidden her origins, both women are forced to confront the secrets they have buried within themselves.

Their lives, once separate, are now colliding in unexpected ways. As they navigate the complexities of their marriages and identities, they are forced to confront the lies they have told and the fears they have buried. Nella Larsen's intense and psychologically nuanced portrayal of these women's struggles is a powerful exploration of the human experience.

This taut and thought-provoking novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of identity and the power of secrets to shape our lives.
