ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Personal Librarian” by Heather Terrell and Victoria Christopher Murray follows the life of Belle da Costa Greene, a Black woman who passes for white to secure a prestigious position as J.P. Morgan’s personal librarian. Set in the early 20th century, the novel explores themes of identity, race, and ambition as Belle navigates a male-dominated profession and high society. As she rises to prominence in the world of rare books and art, Belle struggles with the emotional cost of hiding her heritage, grappling with loyalty to her family and the sacrifices required to succeed in a racially segregated world.
