Nella Larsen's first novel tells the story of Helga Crane, a fictional character loosely based on Larsen's own early life. Crane is the lovely and refined daughter of a Danish mother and a West Indian black father who abandons Helga and her mother soon after Helga is born. Unable to feel comfortable with any of her white-skinned relatives, Helga lives in various places in America and visits Denmark in search of people among whom she feels at home. The work is a superb psychological study of a complicated and appealing woman, Helga Crane, who, like Larsen herself, is the product of a liaison between a black man and a white woman. In one sense, Quicksand might be called an odyssey; however, instead of overcoming a series of obstacles and finally arriving at her native land, Larsen's protagonist has a series of adventures, each of which ends in disappointment.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Martino Fine Books","offers":[{"title":"Quicksand | Nella Larsen | Paperback | 9781891396991 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1612356","offer_id":48313207095448,"sku":"1612356","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61nLqCY7pPL.jpg?v=1773163781","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/quicksand-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
