Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry were childhood friends. By the time they reunite as adults, they’re living quite different lives. Irene is married to a doctor with whom she has children. Clare passes for a white woman and is married to John who not only doesn’t know his wife is Black but is racist himself.
Hall has a Black grandfather who passed for white in his day, though he died before Hall was born and she says her family never discussed it. She discovered Larsen’s novel around 2007 or 2008. The book was fictional, but the author also had a complicated childhood as a mixed-race girl; Larsen’s father was Black, but he and her Dutch mother divorced, leaving Larsen to be raised in a white family when her mother remarried.
