The Personal Librarian
by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray
Fascinating and challenging (3/6/2021)
This is a wonderful book that brought a topic to me that I'd never seen discussed before in a novel, passing for white in America of the early 20th century. The book is very easy to read but challenges the reader at the same time. The characters are engaging and complex, the solutions aren't simple. It was absolutely delightful!
