Product details
"The Personal Librarian" by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray is a historical fiction novel that tells the remarkable story of Belle da Costa Greene, the personal librarian to the famed financier J. P. Morgan. Belle was instrumental in building Morgan's world-class collection of rare manuscripts, books, and artworks, becoming one of the most powerful figures in the art and book world of early 20th-century New York.
However, Belle harbored a secret she fiercely protected—she was born Belle Marion Greener, the daughter of Richard Greener, the first Black graduate of Harvard. To navigate the deeply racist society of her time and achieve her dreams, she passed as a white woman, claiming Portuguese heritage to explain her complexion.

Key Features
The novel explores Belle's professional accomplishments and social ascendance while grappling with identity, race, and the sacrifices she made to preserve her carefully constructed white identity. It highlights her intellect, style, wit, and the lengths she went to protect her family and legacy in a racially segregated society. The book is a poignant tribute to Belle's extraordinary life and the complex choices faced by Black Americans in that era.
