Season 3, Ep. 139: [REBROADCAST] We Discuss Belle Greene by Alexandra Lapierre, translated from the French by Tina Kover


In this episode, we are rebroadcasting our discussion of Belle Greene by Alexandra Lapierre, translated from the French by Tina Kover. The story of Belle da Costa Greene is nothing short of amazing. Reading about her story felt like a real adventure full of worry, excitement, hope, loss, and pride. It’s a book we highly recommend.

Highlights:

πŸŽ™ The things you could do to change your identity back in the day were unreal.
πŸŽ™ The real kicker is that it was the whole family!
πŸŽ™ Belle Greene was quite the businesswoman.
πŸŽ™ The decision to pass comes with so many repercussions and extreme sacrifices.
