«Belinda», Anne Rice (writing as Anne Rampling)


Belkolisa, Санкт-Петербург
Поменяю


The novel explores the relationship between a 44 year old divorced children's book author and artist, Jeremy Walker, and a 16 year old teenage runaway who attaches herself to him. Unaware of who Belinda really is, Jeremy falls in love with her and paints her portraits nude. When he discovers Belinda's true identity, things unravel quickly as his career and freedom are threatened, as well as the love he feels for Belinda. The novel explicitly narrates the sexual union between Walker and Belinda.

The novel deals with an illegal relationship: the age of consent in California, where most of the novel's events take place, is 18. Jeremy is accused of being a child molester. The novel describes numerous relationships with large age gaps. Although Belinda is the only character who is a minor, and is much younger than any of the other characters, the novel raises the question whether genuine love can exist and whether it has a moral basis when there is such a large age gap between the lovers.

Мягкая обложка, немного потрепана.
