Light-skinned black woman Irene Redfield encounters an old childhood friend - Claire- who is now "passing" as a white woman. Claire 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.

Reading this book was like taking time travel 100 years ago we still suffer with race, equality, inequality, perceptions, and more and yet is it less so now or more so now very interesting study of women who could easily pass for white, but was it morally right to do so? Those who passed we’re very critical of those who didn’t and vice versa. It is a brief and charming book.

Loved the book and the narrator but I was VERY dissatisfied with the ending. I would have given it a 5 but it was literally impossible for me to justify a 5 with that kind of ending. Very disappointed with the ending.

The book was difficult to follow with the narrator. Also, it ended abruptly! Very confused,
