Belle (Belle, 1)

Product Information

At the mercy of desperate men who crave her beauty and will do anything to keep her, Belle's dreams of home, family and freedom appear futile. By the middle of the book, I was sick of reading about how young girls are tortured and how at the end of it they just lose the will to escape, eventually enduring everything that happens believing that they deserve it. 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.

On London's Hampstead Heath, two girls meet by chance: well-mannered and smartly dressed Verity and dishevelled and grubby Ruby.Amerika2ya onu yollayan çetenin elemanı olan Etienne ile yolculuk boyunca önce ona güvenmeyi ve katlanmayı sonra da arkadaş olmayı başarır. When Belle's husband heads for the trenches of northern France, she volunteers as a Red Cross ambulance driver.

Pearse's writing style here is not cutting it for me (though I could be wrong, because I haven't read any of her other novels yet). Não culpando ninguém pelo que passou, encara todos os desafios da vida com a maior esperança, procurando um futuro melhor. While Belle is a very compelling read, it is my belief that the topic could have been broached in a much better way. Mary, a Cornish mariner's daughter, makes the biggest mistake of her short life when she steals a silk hat.Frankly, I think that the setting of New Orleans was the best among the other places in the novel, and perhaps if the story were centred there with focus on the more fleshed out characters like Etienne, Lisette and Noah, it would have made for a more engaging read. There's a World of books to choose from such as: Children's Books, Range includes Baby Books (0-3), Books for Toddlers (3-5), Early Readers (5-7), Childrens Story books (7-11), Young Teens (11-14), Young Adults (14-16) and Childrens Educational Books. In fact, I have heard several psychologists remarking how closed up girls who suffer childhood abuse can become. Com o lançamento de mais um livrinho, não resisti a ler a mais recente obra da autora, publicada neste mês pelo grupo Leya.

Leva-nos, sem medo de chocar, através de dois anos da vida de Belle a conhecer um mundo de podridão e luxúria e mostra-nos uma América e uma Inglaterra obscuras do início do Séc.

Pearse fell flat by not leveraging the colorful era/ locales instead you really couldn't tell when or where it was until a character told you. 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. On the outbreak of war, Belle Reilly's husband Jimmy enlists and heads for the deadly trenches of northern France. Another thing I found annoying was that every time Lisette is mentioned, Pearse has to work in the fact that the lives of Lisette and her son will be in danger.
