Childhood friends Clare and Irene are both light-skinned enough to pass as white, but only one of them has chosen to cross the color line and live with the secret hanging over her. Nella Larsen's powerful, tragic, and acutely observant writing established her as a lodestar of America's Harlem Renaissance.

Childhood friends Clare and Irene, both light-skinned enough to pass as white, have chosen different paths in life. Clare, married to a racist white man who is oblivious to her African-American heritage, has cut herself off from her past and believes she has successfully severed any connections to it. On the other hand, Irene is living as a middle-class Black woman with her husband and children in Harlem, embracing her origins and taking on an important role in her community.
As their lives intersect, Clare and Irene are forced to re-examine their relationships with each other, their husbands, and the truth. They confront their deepest fears and secrets, revealing the complexities and contradictions of their lives. Nella Larsen's powerful and poignant writing established her as a lodestar of America's Harlem Renaissance, and her novel "Passing" remains as timely as ever, exploring the many fraught ways in which we seek to survive and thrive in a society that often denies our true identities.
