Quicksand

I needed the book Passing for my uni course and I much prefer ebooks to paper so ordered this. Good price and enjoyed the book.

I had to read this book for a university class and unlike many books I have to read for class I found this book easy to get into and it also captured and held my attention throughout.The small chapters give the reader the ability to easily pick up and put down the book. It was both funny and sad and had a fascinating social commentary.

I enjoyed this book though felt it ended rather abruptly. It gave a good insight into the difficulties faced by mixed race people in the States at that time but perhaps to a point even now. If it is indeed in part autobiographical it must have taken some courage to expose some of what must of been quite painful parts of her life,an interesting read.

Terrific read.totally absorbing book, beautifully written, story will resonate with every woman. I loved it, will read more from this author.

Great novel but have to say the quality of the book is appalling. Its printed by amazon which explains why. Try to avoid the 4.99 edition trust me

I've not read many books by black or mixed race authors that really deal with issues surrounding race and have really been enjoying getting stuck in and feeling represented :) I think this book captures pretty perfectly what it feels like being mixed race and as well as all of the expectancy that comes with that and being a woman.

I found this book very interesting, I couldn't put it down, almost missed my bus stop. A good read anytime of the day.

... about racial politics, repressed sexuality and social insecurity. The ambiguity and tension between Clare and Irene is compelling, particularly in view of the economy of words.
