Book Club Meeting: The Vanishing Half, by Britt Bennett

Monday, December 13, 2021 9 Tevet 5782

10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Our next meeting will be on Monday, December 13 at 10:30am via Zoom when we will discuss THE VANISHING HALF by 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 secretly 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? Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing.

As usual, I will send the Zoom link a few days before our meeting. Please contact me at ediewolf@gmail.com or 443.223.9729 if you need any information.
