- You follow Angela Murray, who leaves Philadelphia to pass as white in 1920s New York, and Fauset makes you feel every cost of it, especially one moment at a train station involving her sister that will sit with you. Quieter than Larsen's Passing, but it lingers.
- You get a warm, earnest look at Black artists and professionals building lives in 1920s New York and Philadelphia. Joanna Marshall’s opera ambitions keep colliding with the color line, and though the novel can feel talky and morally tidy, its questions about art, respectability, and racial possibility still have bite.
