A Harlem Renaissance classic - Plum Bun tells the story of Angela Murray - a young, light-skinned African American woman who decides to leave her home in Philadelphia, and head to New York City and pass for white. Soon after arriving, she gains entry into the Greenwich Village artistic scene, and begins a romance with a wealthy, but extremely bigoted, white man -- forcing her to make some harsh decisions. Written by Jessie Redmon Fauset, one of the most well-known female writers of the Harlem Renaissance, in 1928.
