Extensive analysis of Brit Bennett´s book The Vanishing Half, including detailed summaries of the chapters of the original book.

Original Book Plot:

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical to each other. However, after growing up together in a small, southern black community and fleeing at the age of sixteen, everything about their lives as adults is different: their families, their communities, and their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives in the same southern town with her black daughter whom she once tried to flee. The other pretends to be white, and her white husband has no idea about her past. Despite being separated by thousands of miles and just as many lies, the twins' fates remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation when the stories of their daughters collide?

Brit Bennett creates a story that is both a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of American history by weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s. The Vanishing Half considers the long-term impact of the past on a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the many reasons and realms in which people feel compelled to live as someone other than their ancestors.
