Simply great storytelling! I read it all in one day.
The story of twins of black background but light skin colour and their diverging lives and extended families. The author brilliantly illustrates the blatant and subtle effects of skin colour and racism on one’s life.
It is an emotional family story and examination of the American notion of passing (living as if white). The lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person’s decisions, desires, and expectations is integral to the story.
