But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it&apos;s not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it&apos;s everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many 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&apos; storylines intersect?<br /><br />Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing<i>. </i>Looking well beyond issues of race,<i> The Vanishing Half</i> considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person&apos;s decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins. <br /><br />As with her <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling debut <i>The Mothers</i>, Brit Bennett offers an engrossing page-turner about family and relationships that is immersive and provocative, compassionate and wise. El coloso de Nueva York (Spanish Edition) <p><b>Un tributo a la ciudad que nunca duerme, un homenaje literario al paisaje urbano y al ambiente fascinante y febril que dibujan sus habitantes. Por el autor galardonado con el Premio Pulitzer y el National Book Award por <i>El ferrocarril subterráneo</i>.</b></p> <p>A través de trece episodios, Colson Whitehead traza un recorrido visual por las calles de la ciudad, pero también por su propia memoria: qué se siente al contemplar Manhattan por primera vez, cómo Nueva York desplaza a sus habitantes de la soledad al calor del gentío... A ritmo de jazz, el autor utiliza distintas voces narrativas con la intención de transmitirnos con total fidelidad la banda sonora de este lugar, que es a la vez variada y fluida.</p> <p>Whitehead pone de manifiesto que Nueva York es una ciudad viva, una ciudad que representa la modernidad y el progreso, y como tal está sujeta a todo tipo de cambios, algunos de ellos, como ya se ha demostrado, de terribles consecuencias.</p> <p>El lector encontrará en estas páginas <b>una guía de la ciudad</b>, a la vez que <b>una reflexión sobre su historia</b>. <i>El coloso de Nueva York </i>se sitúa junto a los textos clásicos más iluminadores publicados hasta la fecha, como lo fueron en su día <b><i>Here is New York</i> de E.B.
