About this title

Review:

Sometimes shocking, always lively and amusing, Belle is a real Moll Flanders for the 21st century. Her honesty makes for compelling reading. (WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY (January 2005))

Belle's writing is fluid and funny and it's hard not to admire her total disregard for what others think - you go girl! (Shauna Bartlett GLAMOUR (February))

Belle is sparky; she has a voice. (Rachel Cooke NEW STATESMAN (17.1.05))

Sensational account of the comings and going of one of the capital's escorts. (Camilla Long TATLER (February 2005))

I avidly read her descriptions of her sexual comings -and-goings... But it is the peripheral details that make this account so readable, (Craig Brown MAIL ON SUNDAY (16.1.05) ****)

Belle writes with panache...[and] there are some sharp, funny moments. (India Knight SUNDAY TIMES (16.1.05))

the voyeurism is too good to miss. (MIRROR (14.1.05))

It's bright, breezy and full of musings on art and arses and, naturally, men. (GQ (February 2005))

a lurid, witty, sad, moving and...honest version of her life as a call girl...The author is clearly well-educated, and peppers her writings with erudite literary allusions...Whoever Belle is, she is obviously witty and clever, but also touched by melancholy. An intriguing, often disturbing work. (Lucy Cavendish EVENING STANDARD (17.1.05))

It's frank, funny and completely addictive...Sometimes shocking, often hilarious, this is a definite must read of an insight into the secret life of an extraordinary, ordinary woman. You won't be able to put it down. (BEAUTYANDTHEDIRT.COM)
