SUMMARY:The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett | GGP Online Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Tuesday\, November 24\, 2020 at 7 PM PDT for a GGP Online Book Club discussion of Brit Bennett’s new novel\, THE VANISHING HALF. \nThe Zoom meeting will be at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81072907239. \nYou can order a copy in hardcover at https://bit.ly/ggpVanishing\, or in audiobook from Libro.fm\, GGP’s audiobook partner\, at https://bit.ly/VanishingAB. \nDescription\n\n#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \nLONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD \nA GOOD MORNING AMERICA Book Club Pick  \n“Bennett’s tone and style recalls James Baldwin and Jacqueline Woodson\, but it’s especially reminiscent of Toni Morrison’s 1970 debut novel\, The Bluest Eye.” —Kiley Reid\, Wall Street Journal  \n“A story of absolute\, universal timelessness …For any era\, it’s an accomplished\, affecting novel. For this moment\, it’s piercing\, subtly wending its way toward questions about who we are and who we want to be….” – Entertainment Weekly\nFrom The New York Times-bestselling author of The Mothers\, a stunning new novel about twin sisters\, inseparable as children\, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds\, one black and one white. \nThe Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small\, southern black community and running away at age sixteen\, it’s not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults\, it’s everything: their families\, their communities\, their racial identities. Many years later\, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white\, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still\, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies\, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation\, when their own daughters’ storylines intersect? \nWeaving together multiple strands and generations of this family\, from the Deep South to California\, from the 1950s to the 1990s\, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting\, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race\, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person’s decisions\, desires\, and expectations\, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins. \nAs 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. \nAbout the Author\n\nBrit Bennett is the author of the New York Times–bestselling novel The Mothers; a finalist for the NBCC John Leonard Prize for the best first book\, the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction\, and the New York Public Library Young Lions Award; and a National Book Foundation 5 under 35 honoree. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker\, The New York Times Magazine\, The Paris Review\, and Jezebel.
