Who was she?' That was the first thought that came into my mind when I saw her in the bookstore.

Who was she really?

She's Belinda. She's sixteen years old. She's the object of one man's ultimate fantasy. And she's one of the most 'uniquely sensual and provocative' heroines to emerge from the 'fearless' imagination of New York Times bestselling author Anne Rice.

'Call her the It Girl of contemporary fiction. Whatever the venue, she's never too squeamish to reach out and touch it.'-Rolling Stone

'Her voluptuous prose draws readers into an erotic landscape where the sensual delights are dark-edged...and utterly compelling.'-Village Voice'A wry and richly textured diary of 'forbidden love.' A compelling blend of mystery and romance.'-Kirkus Reviews

'Easily one of the most natural storytellers on the modern scene... Belinda is certainly her most controversial to date.'-San Francisco Chronicle
