The Vignes twin sisters are identical but lead vastly different lives after escaping their small, southern black community at sixteen. Years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the town she once fled, while the other passes for white, concealing her past from her white husband. Despite the distance and deception, their fates remain intertwined. As their daughters' lives intersect, the narrative weaves through multiple generations and locations, from the Deep South to California, spanning the 1950s to the 1990s. This story presents a gripping family saga while delving into the complexities of passing in American history. It goes beyond race to explore how the past influences decisions, desires, and expectations, examining the reasons people feel compelled to live as something other than their origins. With her New York Times-bestselling debut, Brit Bennett crafts an engaging tale about family and relationships that is both immersive and thought-provoking, blending compassion and wisdom throughout.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Nr. 1 der New-York-Times-BestsellerlisteMallard, ein kleiner Ort in Louisiana. Seine Bewohner blicken mit Stolz auf eine lange Tradition und Geschichte - und vor allem auf ihre Kinder, die mit jeder Generation hellhautiger zu werden scheinen. Hier werden in den 1950ern Stella und Desiree geboren, Zwillinge von ganz unterschiedlichem Wesen. Nur in einem sind sie sich einig: An diesem Ort sehen sie keine Zukunft. In New Orleans, wohin sie fluchten, trennen sich ihre Wege. Denn Stella tritt unbemerkt durch eine den weissen Amerikanern vorbehaltene Tur und schlagt sie kurzerhand hinter sich zu. Desiree dagegen heiratet den dunkelhautigsten Mann, den sie finden kann. Und Jahrzehnte vergehen bis zu einem unwahrscheinlichen Wiedersehen.
