By Nella Larsen 

 What Brit Bennett Says: Passing  by Nella Larsen is about a pair of childhood friends – one who passes when convenient and one who passes full-time. Although these characters are not twins, they are doubles in a way that was instructive as  I thought about the relationship between Desiree and Stella. How might their dynamic change as they choose very different paths in life?
