| Annotation |
Two novels about women in Harlem in the 1920s. Quicksand (1928) features Helga Crane, a sophisticated young woman of mixed lineage who moves between the white and black world and eventually entraps herself in marriage to a backwoods southern preacher. And in Passing (1929), Irene Redfield has a secret desire to banish her friend Clare Kendry, an African American passing for white, from her circle.
