I adored this book. Based on a true story, which I didn’t realise till the end, so made it even more enjoyable. The daughter of a black activist, she presents herself as a white person. She achieves great success. Born at the turn of the century, we learn her story through to the end. Aside from the black/white element to the book, there is a huge amount about setting up libraries in the 20th century which I found fascinating.
