The Vanishing Half

I have this kind of dumb mental block where when I'm confronted with like, Adult Literary Historical Fiction, my brain is like “BORING!! IT'S GONNA BE BORING!” even though for example I love all of Louise Erdrich's books. And I loved this book too even though I'm not sure I would have prioritized picking it up if it weren't for my book club.

From the start it's just so engaging and compelling, and I really marvel at the way the theme of identity and “passing” was used in so many different settings. I couldn't put it down.
