The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray
5.0

I love a good historical fiction especially one about a person and a time that I don't know much about. This one was about Belle da Costa Greene who was the librarian and the curator for J P Morgan and the co creator of his famous library that still can be visited in New York city. A great story about a woman ahead of her times who against social and racial constraints stood behind creating one of the most important collections of history of printing and writing.
