蜜芽传媒

Clare is determined to keep in touch with her former friend.

When Clare Kendry renews her acquaintance with childhood friend Irene Redfield, who is similarly light skinned but who has not hidden her heritage, both women are forced to reassess their friendship and loyalties.

Nella Larsen's intense and psychologically nuanced portrayal of lives and identities dangerously colliding, published in 1929, has found new audiences in the cinema and now also as an English literature A-level set text.
