I had heard good things about this book and purchased it on Audible. Then I sort of forgot about it until I was looking through my library for books to listen to this year. I'm so glad that I got to it. I knew there were light-skinned black twins and that one decided to pass for white.
That was pretty much as that I knew. I didn't know about the depth of the story and the skillful and emotional writing. The story spans decades and includes historic events. I'll be getting to more books by Brit Bennett. This is wonderfully narrated by Shayna Small, the first time I've listened to a book narrated by her.
