About this listen

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Belle, from the Number One bestselling author, Lesley Pearse.

She witnessed a murder - and now her life is in danger . . .

Fifteen year-old Belle, though raised in a London brothel, is an innocent. But when she witnesses one of the girls brutally strangled by a client, she is cast into a cruel, heartless world. Snatched from the streets and sold into prostitution, she is made a courtesan in New Orleans. 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.

Are Belle's courage and spirit strong enough to help her escape? And what will await her at the end of the long, dangerous journey home?

Lesley Pearse, author of Number One bestseller Stolen, has done it again with Belle - a heroine for our times: a strong woman trying to be good in a world gone bad.

This was such an interesting book. I could not stop listening. From the minute it started you were gripped by the storyline, which is unusual as most other books you have to listen for a few chapters before you are hooked. I would recommend this to everyone

There were some words and sentences that I thought the narrator misunderstood and so read them differently to how I would, but overall a great story and tolerable narrator. Will be getting the next in series immediately
