I have to say I was very impressed with Belinda I was a bit worried at first
after reading Sleeping Beauty I thought it would be more of the same. I didn’t
know if I could do with that sort of thing in the modern day world being done
to a 16 year old but it wasn’t and this may be a good book to read before
The Sleeping Beauty novels.
Belinda is a love story but this one is different Belinda is a 16 year old
runaway and Jeremy is a 45 year
old illustrator and writer of children’s books. Belinda is the person
he must not touch the person who could ruin everything for him. It’s
to late thought he falls in love with her as she opens his eyes to the real
world. He becomes obsessed with painting nude pictures of her that he does
not want the world to see.
Belinda has a lot of secrets, secrets she does not want to tell but Jeremy
needs to know them. Will they love over come these secrets or will it tear
them apart.
This story is sensual rather than sexual and the love is pure it’s not
kinky and is written as Anne always does with great detail. When Jeremy talks
about himself you feel Anne is having a private joke though him as he say’s
things like (forgive if I can’t find the exact quote) I can’t show
these paints they would ruin my career and Belinda say’s you could bring
them out under another name or wait until you died.
It’s as Anne things that this book could ruin her but she bought it out
under another name because she
had to write the book.
