Set in the 1920s, Passing is a Harlem Renaissance novel following two women, one of whom is passing as white in her everyday life having married a racist white man who doesn't know the full details of her ancestry.  The novel is a short but powerful examination of the complexities of identity, community, gender, and race.  I am grateful my book club chose it, as there is much to discuss -- the novel is ambiguous in many respects, complex, and nuanced.  I appreciated Brit Bennett's introduction, but suggest that any reader unfamiliar with the plot and seeking to avoid spoilers leave reading it until after they've finished the novel.
