    About this ebook

    The Vanishing Half: A Novel by Brit Bennett: Conversation Starters

    Britt Bennett, best-selling and award-winning author of the critically acclaimed debut novel, 'The mothers', has recently published her follow-up novel, 'The vanishing half- A novel.' The fiction novel was quickly dubbed as the New York Times Bestseller and featured as the Good Morning America Book Club pick. 
    The novel tells the tale of two twin sisters, Stella and Desiree, in a fictional town of Mallard in Louisiana. Though being twins born to African-American parents, they are poles apart. As the girls' transition from teenage to adults, the life choices they make having been at the receiving end of racism makes the reader think about the deep-rooted bigotry in American culture.

      Introducing The Vanishing Half

      The author's second novel, 'The Vanishing Half: A novel,' is set in the fictional town of Mallard in Louisiana. Mallard came into existence in 1848. The population of Mallard primarily consists of light-skinned African Americans who refuse to be called black. They are not traditionally white but don't want to be treated as Negros. Each successive generation works hard to ensure that the following age will be lighter in complexion. However, Mallard's wealthiest residents continue to work for the whites at lowly jobs. The light-skinned people are looked down upon and sidelined. One of them is a man subjected to extreme cruelty at the hands of whites and lynched twice. He was once attacked on his front yard and the second time while he was recovering in the hospital from the earlier
