Belle da Costa Greene, in her twenties, is appointed by the wealthy J.P. Morgan to oversee a collection of rare manuscripts, books, and works of art in his newly built "Pierpont Morgan" library. Then, thanks to her appointment as the personal curator of Mr. Morgan's library, Belle becomes a major player in New York City society, and one of the most powerful figures in the world of art and books, distinguished by her extraordinary artistic taste, and her skill in negotiating to win auctions of antiques and manuscripts.
