Finished The Vanishing Half last night. One of the best novels I've read this year. It's publicised as the story of twin Black sisters who leave the tiny Louisiana town they grew up in and who lose contact after one of them decides to 'pass over' and live her life as a white woman. But It's far more wide-ranging than I'd expected from what I'd read about it beforehand, and has twice as many main protagonists as that description suggests.
I've started Nudibranch, a collection of short stories by Irenosen Okojie, a British-Nigerian writer I've not come across before. Very strange so far. I'm enjoying them a lot.
