Belinda (Rice novel)
''Belinda'' is a 1986 novel by Anne Rice, originally published in under the pen name Anne Rampling.
''Belinda'' follows in the footsteps of ''Exit to Eden'' in its themes of the darker side of human romance. Whereas the latter novel explored BDSM, ''Belinda'' explores the relationship between a grown man and an underage girl.
==Overview==
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 narrates the sexual union between Jeremy and Belinda, managing to convey their love for one another through physical action, but without spending pages and pages describing each individual sexual encounter.
The novel deals with an illegal relationship: the age of consent in California, where most of the novel's events take place, is 18. When Belinda meets Jeremy Walker, she is 16 years old. Her name is Belinda Blanchard, her mother is international movie and television star Bonnie. Belinda is estranged from her mother and on the run from her controlling but generally clueless Uncle Daryl, who is convinced that Belinda is out to ruin Bonnie's career. Jeremy Walker doesn't know any of this until he is in love with Belinda, and they have been together for several months. The novel describes numerous relationships with large age gaps, including one between Belinda's world-famous hairdresser father, G.G. and an actor named Ollie Boon. 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 between two people with a large age difference, and whether or not it is morally right.
