TWINS, INSEPARABLE AS CHILDREN,
ULTIMATELY CHOOSE TO LIVE IN
TWO VERY DIFFERENT WORLOS:
ONE BLACK AND ONE WHITE.
The Vignes 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, including their racial ident-
lies. Many years later, one sister lives with
her black daughter in the same southern
town she once tried to escape Across the
country, the other secretly passes for white,
and her while husband knows nothing of
her past. Still, although separated by so
many miles and just as many lies, the lates
of the twins remain intertwined. What will
happen when their own daughters' story
lines intersect?
Weaving together multiple strands and
generations, from the Deep South to Cali-
fornia, from the 1950s to the 1990s, The
Vanishing Half is at once a riveling, emo-
lional family story and a brilliant explora-
tion of race, gender, and identity, and the
lasting influence of the past as it shapes a
person's desires and expectations.
