Description
Nella Larsen's thought-provoking novel Passing explores the complexities of identity and the human desire to belong. This Signet Classics edition includes an Introduction by Brit Bennett, offering new insights into the author's work. In the 1920s, Irene Redfield, a Black woman living in Harlem, reconnects with her childhood friend Clare Kendry, who has been passing for a white woman. As their lives become increasingly intertwined, Irene finds herself drawn to Clare's sense of ease and security with her Black identity. However, Clare's deception also fills Irene with a sense of unease and repulsion. First published in 1929, Passing remains a powerful examination of the ways in which we all seek to "pass" and find our place in the world.
