The Vanishing Half Audiobook by Brit Bennett

Narrated by Shayna Small11 hr 34 min

Brit Bennett's The Vanishing Half follows identical twins who run from a small Black Louisiana town and wind up living on opposite sides of the color line, one passing as white, the other returning home with a dark-skinned daughter. It's a literary family saga about identity, inheritance, and the cost of reinvention, told across four decades.

On audio, Shayna Small narrates all 11 hr 34 min of The Vanishing Half — good company for commutes, chores, and long drives.
