"Original title: The vanishing half"--Title page verso.

Generaci�on tras generaci�on, la comunidad negra del pueblo de Mallard, en Luisiana, ha intentado aclarar el tono de su piel favoreciendo los matrimonios mixtos. Las inseparables gemelas Desir�ee y Stella Vignes, con su color n�iveo, sus ojos casta�nos y su cabello ondulado, son un buen ejemplo de ello. Tan distintas y tan iguales, decidieron huir juntas del diminuto pueblo creyendo que tambi�en podr�ian escapar de su sangre. A�nos despu�es y ante la mirada at�onita de todos, Desire�e regresa acompa�nada de una ni�na negra como el carb�on. Hace tiempo que no sabe nada de Stella, despu�es de que decidiera desaparecer y renunciar definitivamente a sus or�igenes para vivir otra vida como mujer de raza blanca. Aclamada como la digna heredera de Toni Morrison y James Baldwin, Brit Bennett es una de las grandes revelaciones de la literatura afroamericana de los �ultimos tiempos.

"The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?"--‡cProvided by publisher.
