My book club are reading this book now. We will discuss it next week. I would have never known anything of Belle Greener/Greene if not for this book. Fascinating.
It is a great book. Enjoyed it completely. Well done the way these authors interweave the intricacies of personalities, cultures and history into a saga. I very highly recommend The Personal Librarian on its literary genius alone.
LOVED the book…. Brilliantly written by the two authors……we enjoyed discussing our thoughts at book club meeting recently…. Walking on eggshells all my life would be stressful to say the least…. That’s what Belle De Costa Greene must have felt…. Brave smart woman, she was!
This is one of my favorite reads 📚 Thank you GMA bookclub ❤
It’s a fantastic book- so well written.
The personal librarian based on a true story
She was an outstanding scholar and person!!
Great read. Very interesting

Were Belle's sisters as successful "passing" as her sisters? Or did they even try? (I have almost finished reading the book, but there is no answer to my question.)
Wonderful idea! Let’s start our discussion with this!
It's a shame she had to pass as white 🙃 especially coming from the rich black lineage .. and in looking at her I would have never looked at her as white
