I just loved this book! Had heard lots about it and hear the author interviewed several times. Deals with twin sisters, black. who are very light skinned. One decides to "pass" and live as a white woman, the other marries a very dark man and has a daughter who is "blue black." Very dark. Follows their lives and how they connect in time. The story really turns to the two daughters at some point, who come to realize that they are cousins. Very different cousins.
As with her New York Times-bestselling debut The Mothers, Brit Bennett offers an engrossing page-turner about family and relationships that is immersive and provocative, compassionate and wise.
