Caucasia by Danzy Senna
Set against the backdrop of 1970s Boston, this coming-of-age novel follows the journey of Birdie Lee, a biracial girl caught between two worlds. As her parents' interracial marriage crumbles amidst racial tensions, Birdie and her mother go on the run, forcing her to navigate a new identity while grappling with the loss of her sister, Cole, who remains with their father. Through Birdie's eyes, the narrative explores themes of race, identity, and belonging, as she struggles to reconcile her dual heritage in a society that demands she choose one side over the other.
