About this listen
Light-skinned Black woman Irene Redfield encounters an old childhood friend - Clare - who is now "passing" as a White woman. Clare is married to a racist White man, who doesn't know she has African American blood. In spite of the danger of being found out by her husband and society at large, she finds herself helplessly drawn to Irene's world....
Passing is a fascinating listening experience on many simultaneous levels.

Colourful
Loved it beautifully written. The narrator captured the voices of all the characters. The most memorable part would be at the end.

Fascinating Story, Beautifully Written
A shame the novel is so short. It so vividly captures the place and time.

Great on so many levels
As a stand alone story about an individual, this is great. As a social commentary, it is stunning. I found it absolutely fascinating and went on to find out more about the author and the times in which she lived, including societal norms and laws. I hope we have made progress but sometimes wonder. Tess Thompson is the perfect narrator and brings depth of emotion to this book which simply reading it may not have.
