HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. 'She wished to find out about this
hazardous business of "passing," this breaking away from all that
was familiar and friendly to take one's chance in another
environment...' The elegant Clare Kendry glides through New York's
high-society circles with ease, until the day she is reacquainted
with her childhood friend, Irene. Clare chooses to 'pass' as white,
hiding her African American heritage from her bigoted husband,
while Irene leads a life that embraces it. As both women observe
the other, a relationship of mutual fascination, obsession and
secrets begins, one that will end in devastating circumstances.
Published in 1929, Nella Larsen's Passing lays bare the
complexities of identity, race, class and gender. The novella
established Larsen as one of the most important female authors in
American literature and is considered a literary masterpiece of the
Harlem Renaissance era.
