Book: The Vanishing Half
Author: Brit Bennett
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?-GoodreadsReview: This is the story of twin sisters. One, a single mom living in her prejudiced southern town with her dark daughter. The other-living with her white husband and white daughter, who have no idea about her past. This was well written, engaging and heartbreaking. 4/5
Grade: 4/5
