I read this book last year and I enjoyed it a lot. The story revolves around the Vignes twin sisters, and spans from the 1950s to the 1990s, from the Deep South to California. The novel explores a number of different issues: identity, desires, expectations, racial discrimination, family relationships, gender, decision-making, passing, negotiating a place in the world, etc, etc. The language is not difficult to understand and the style is never boring. This is a story that makes the reader think and which stays with you long after you finish the last page.
