The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

Audio.  11.5 hours.

Read by Shayna Small.

 In the early 1960s, two light-skinned Black girls run off from their rural lives to the big city.  One of them disappears (with all her belongings) and lives her life "passing" as white, while the other carries on as a Black woman.

There were some unbelievable coincidences, and the ending was not particularly satisfying.

3 stars.
