Belle (Belle, 1)

Product Information

I have not read many books that delve into the sordid and frankly, very disturbing world of human trafficking. Como mencionei acima, temos a prostituição, venda e comércio de raparigas que eram violadas e controladas por homens que buscam apenas a sua própria diversão.

If you're looking for an easy read, a story where you can root for the main character and a lighter version of a prostitution story then Belle is your book. On London's Hampstead Heath, two girls meet by chance: well-mannered and smartly dressed Verity and dishevelled and grubby Ruby. Thank you to Lesley Pearse, Agora Books, and bookstagrammers for sending me this emotionally telling read. Registered address: Unit 5, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom. London, 1910, and the beautiful and innocent Belle Reilly is cruelly snatched from her home and sold to a brothel in New Orleans where she begins her life as a courtesan.For example, it felt like 5 minutes after being sold into prostitution, she just goes, "I want to be the best and highest paid girl here! Apesar de o tema principal – a prostituição e tudo o que lhe está associado – me ter agrado por me parecer interessante e promissor, nunca me senti totalmente cativada: a escrita não me conseguiu envolver, não consegui desenvolver qualquer empatia ou afeição pela personagem principal, houve aspectos que me pareceram pouco credíveis e a dada altura senti que a autora estava a tornar-se repetitiva e a querer fazer “render o peixe”. Mog is relentless though, and manages to convince Noah, a budding journalist who was enamoured with the dead girl to help investigate into the incident.

Her mother, though misguided in her love, tries to protect her by hiding all evidence of Belle being present at the scene of the crime.Amerika2ya onu yollayan çetenin elemanı olan Etienne ile yolculuk boyunca önce ona güvenmeyi ve katlanmayı sonra da arkadaş olmayı başarır.

Fakat bir akşam üst kettaki odalardan birinde uyuyakalması ve bir fahişenin müşterisi ile olan ilişkisine tanık olması onun için yeterince dehşet verici iken müşterinin bu kadını gözlerinin önünde öldürmesi de ondan daha korkunç idi. Along the way she meets many people, some good, some very surprising and some so nasty that you never see it coming.

Eighteen-year-old Mari is defiant, selfish and has given up everything in favour of glamorous parties in the West End. Heartbreaking, enduring and masterfully told, The Promise will take you on a breathtaking journey into the battlefields of the First World War. Mal posso esperar para continuar a acompanhar a saga de Belle no próximo livro, ainda para mais tendo em conta o interessantíssimo período histórico que irá atravessar! Mary, a Cornish mariner's daughter, makes the biggest mistake of her short life when she steals a silk hat.

The character should have been a lot more damaged for me to sympathize with her, and take her a bit more seriously. Não quero com isto dizer que é um mau livro, mas dada a sua classificação por aqui e a potencialidade do tema, soube-me a pouco. Belle becomes a mistress to a much older man and begins to value herself by the attention he gives her, which isn’t all that much. I have enjoyed every one of Lesley's books but really think that this is up there with my favourites - alongside 'Never Look Back'.I felt really invested in Belle's story and it is brilliantly told with sensitivity and care but at the same time unafraid to depict the cruel, brutal reality of the world she finds herself in after being sold into prostitution. O que quero dizer é que apesar de todo o mal e azar que a vida lhe proporcionou, Belle tentava tirar o maior proveito de todas as situações que enfrenta, acabando por se convencer que é a sua melhor escolha. While we have all heard of topics like human trafficking or prostitution, it is daunting to read such an in-depth depiction into the sordid mess that it is. Apesar das dificuldades, ela luta todos os dias por fugir da situação em que está, pensando sempre na sua família e no enorme desejo de voltar para junto deles.
