About this product

Product Information

The Instant New York Times Bestseller! A Good Morning America * Book Club Pick! Named one of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post "Historical fiction at its best!" * A remarkable novel about J. P. Morgan's personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, the Black American woman who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white in order to leave a lasting legacy that enriched our nation, from New York Times bestselling authors Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. In her twenties, Belle da Costa Greene is hired by J. P. Morgan to curate a collection of rare manuscripts, books, and artwork for his newly built Pierpont Morgan Library. Belle becomes a fixture in New York City society and one of the most powerful people in the art and book world, known for her impeccable taste and shrewd negotiating for critical works as she helps create a world-class collection. But Belle has a secret, one she must protect at all costs. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene but Belle Marion Greener. She is the daughter of Richard Greener, the first Black graduate of Harvard and a well-known advocate for equality. Belle's complexion isn't dark because of her alleged Portuguese heritage that lets her pass as white--her complexion is dark because she is African American. The Personal Librarian tells the story of an extraordinary woman, famous for her intellect, style, and wit, and shares the lengths she must go to--for the protection of her family and her legacy--to preserve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which she lives.

"A marvel of a story. This unflinching look at one woman's meteoric rise through New York's high society is enthralling, lyrical, and rife with danger. Belle's painful secret and her brazen courage will capture - and break - your heart. Serious kudos to Benedict and Murray for bringing this true story to life."-- Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue

    Historical fiction involving events in our country more than 100 years ago.

    I think this is a very interesting book. While it is historical fiction, it was based on some real events.

    A "read" worth reading !

    This book shows the problems people of color faced, well-written and quite a testament to the woman's ability and personal strength.

    A good read with compelling characters and based on historical events.

    It was a good look back on how far we've come with racial issues in our society.
