Passing by Nella Larsen

4.0

As a slut for Vanishing half, I had to read this classic! Wow what a read! I love to read about complex race relations and this novel was such an interesting insight into Harlem in the 1920s and also the complexities of 'passing.' I genuinely thought this was going to be a cheeky queer novel and definitely think Clare and Irene were feeling each other but surprisingly they never went there! I loved how short it was but still you cared for the characters! Clare served that pixie girl fantasy but I still enjoyed her character whilst still feeling for Irene! A must read for sure!
