The Vanishing Half

Brit Bennett

“My November Monthly Read is Brit Bennett’s mesmerising novel, The Vanishing Half. This book brilliantly surfaces a multitude of questions about race, class, and gender, told through a family drama that spans three generations in 20th-century America. Twin sisters Desiree and Stella choose very different paths in life, with the implications of their decisions reverberating down the generations. I was struck by how the novel so cleverly raises questions of heritage and identity while remaining non-judgmental, empathetic, and full of heart. I raced through this book and I’m sure you will too” – Dua Lipa
