📖 #Claroscuro, muy buena novela de #NellaLarsen. Consigue que parezca fácil presentar los complejos (espero que superados) y el racismo (presente aún hoy en día) y que todo quede plasmado en páginas que destilan una historia más allá de la raza.
7/10.

Passing

Just read this 1929 novel by American author Nella Larsen. The story centers on the reunion of two childhood friends + the discovery that one is 'passing' in a mixed race marriage.

Born in Chicago, Larsen was part of the Harlem Renaissance of the 20s + 30s. She wrote 2 novels during this time.

Photographs are by Carl Van Vechten

A film adaption of the novel was made in 2021 by Rebecca Hall.
