Passing

 This novel is about Belle da Costa Greene.  She has a rich full rewarding life, but it would never have occurred like it did without her “passing”.  It’s based on facts and really interesting.  She receives employment from J. P. Morgan and establishes herself in high society while disguising her true identity as a person of color in the early twentieth century. In her time working for J. P. Morgan, she became hugely successful as she purchased rare manuscripts to build Mr. Morgan's collection. The novel tells of Belle's personal life as she struggles with her identity.  I recommend the book.
