As dramatized on Radio 4 and seen on Netflix, Nella Larsens Passing is a distinctive and revealing novel about racial identity, and a key text of the Harlem Renaissance. Part of the Macmillan Collectors Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful hardbacks make perfect gifts for book lovers, or wonderful additions to your own collection. This edition of Passing features an introduction by writer and academic, Christa Holm Vogelius. Irene Redfield, married to a successful physician, enjoys a comfortable life in 1920s Harlem, New York. Reluctantly, she renews her friendship with old school friend, Clare Kendry. Clare, who like Irene is light skinned, passes as white and is married to a racist white man who has no idea about Clares racial heritage. Clare is very persuasive and Irene, despite misgivings, cant resist letting her back into her world. As tensions mount between friends and between couples, this taut and mesmerizing narrative spins towards an unexpected end.
