Just as disquieting is the portrait in \u003ci\u003eQuicksand\u003c\/i\u003e of Helga Crane, half black and half white, who is unable to escape her loneliness no matter where and with whom she lives. Race and marriage offer few securities here or in the other stories in this compulsively readable collection, rich in psychological complexity and imbued with a sense of place that brings Harlem vibrantly to life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen: Passing, Quicksand, and the Stories | Nella Larsen | Paperback | 9780385721004 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1619642","offer_id":50691234726146,"sku":"1619642","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51wNSVoBHUL.jpg?v=1791515361","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/complete-fiction-of-nella-larsen-passing-quicksand-and-the-stories","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
