Larsen, Nella: Passing

super schnell und gut

Before reading this book, I had never really heard much of the idea of "passing." However, after reading this novel, I found myself very intrigued by it. "Passing" is a book about an African-American woman living her life as a white woman. She is married to a white man who has no idea of her original race. After many years, this woman finds herself longing to be back with her own race, and there is nothing she can do about it. Throughout this book, she and one of her childhood friends, who is still a part of the African-American race, struggle with the problems that come along with this lifestyle. Issues of race, marriage, friendship, and honesty make for a truly enthralling book with a very surprising ending. I recommend it fully.
