The Book Wheel

I’m really looking forward to reading Brit Bennett’s new novel, The Vanishing Half. Her last book, The Mothers, was a lesson in how small details revealed and realized create shifting sympathies between characters.

Identical Twins Become Divided By Race In 'The Vanishing Half' Brit Bennett's new novel centers on two light-skinned African American sisters — one of whom "passes" for white. The Vanishing Half is compelling — if somewhat melodramatic.

‪This is a great list! Here are a few I’ve already added to my TBR, including two debuts:‬

‪- The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett‬
‪- Want by Lynn ‬Steger Strong
‪- The All-Night Sun by Diane Zinna (debut)‬
