{"product_id":"9780142437278","title":"Passing by Nella Larsen","description":"A classic, brilliant and layered novel that has been at the heart of racial identity discourse in America for almost a century.   Clare Kendry leads a dangerous life. Fair, elegant, and ambitious, she is married to a white man unaware of her African American heritage and has severed all ties to her past. Clare's childhood friend, Irene Redfield, just as light-skinned, has chosen to remain within the African American community, but refuses to acknowledge the racism that continues to constrict her family's happiness. A chance encounter forces both women to confront the lies they have told others - and the secret fears they have buried within themselves.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43201503297714,"sku":"9780142437278","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9780142437278_52ace805-6275-4d8b-84b4-b2b6047da2b2.jpg?v=1698857277","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780142437278","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
