Resumen del Editor

Danzy Senna's Caucasia is now available for the first time in audio!

Birdie and Cole are the daughters of a black father and a white mother, intellectuals and activists in the Civil Rights Movement in 1970s Boston. The sisters are so close that they speak their own language, yet Birdie, with her light skin and straight hair, is often mistaken for white, while Cole is dark enough to fit in with the other kids at school. Despite their differences, Cole is Birdie's confidant, her protector, the mirror by which she understands herself.

Then their parents' marriage collapses. One night Birdie watches her father and his new girlfriend drive away with Cole. Soon Birdie and her mother are on the road as well, drifting across the country in search of a new home. But for Birdie, home will always be Cole. Haunted by the loss of her sister, she sets out a desperate search for the family that left her behind.

The extraordinary national best seller that launched Danzy Senna's literary career, Caucasia is a modern classic, at once a powerful coming of age story and a groundbreaking work on identity and race in America.

A Ride!

This book was quite the experience from beginning to end. I couldn't wait to see how this story was going to end! I believe this book would do well as a movie! I recommend this book. The narration was on point!

Entertaining!

I found myself wrapped up in this story. I absolutely loved it. There were parts where I laughed out loud, and there were parts where I felt an empathy for biracial people deepening.. A great book!

Compelling story, great narration!

On its surface, Caucasia tells the story of a young girl struggling to survive a difficult mother, distant father, and legal trouble. Throughout the story, however, deeper themes emerge on race, gender, and the search for an elusive utopia. This book is beautifully written and performed.

Entertaining

A good story overall, could have been shorter - some details weren’t necessary, could have been used to expand the ending.

Still love it

This is my second time reading this book and I love it even more. I first read it in 6th grade and found comfort reading a book about a biracial girl. Now I’m 30, a biracial woman and still find the words and thoughts comforting. I definitely recommend reading!!

Interesting premise….

I really thought the premise of this book was interesting, but then it just fizzled. A lot of detail of inconsequential things… felt an English paper on descriptive imagery at times. But I really appreciated some of the subtleties of colorism that an approached here. It makes me wonder if a modern version of this book would handle this better. I stuck with it because of the strong first half.

Just okay…

I feel like the first 6 hours was a jumble of fluff and the last 6 were a jumble of a different fluff. I expected more and was a little annoyed that the story was only told from one sisters voice. I had to force myself to finish it.
