Clare Kendry has severed all ties to her past. Elegant,
fair-skinned and ambitious, she is married to a white man who is
unaware of her African-American heritage. When she renews her
acquaintance with her childhood friend Irene, who has not hidden
her origins, both women are forced to reassess their marriages, the
lies they have told - and to confront the secret fears they have
buried within themselves. Nella Larsen's intense, taut and
psychologically nuanced portrayal of lives and identities
dangerously colliding established her as a leading writer of
America's Harlem Renaissance. The Penguin English Library -
collectable general readers' editions of the best fiction in
English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World
War.
