Conville & Walsh

In a world of twelve-year-olds in sexy boots and grannies in sparkly mini-dresses, the surest way to tell the prostitute walking into a hotel at Heathrow is to look for the lady in the designer suit.

Attractive, smart, educated, and enterprising, Belle seems like your average twenty-something working girl. And in a way, she is. But there’s one thing you should know…

Belle, as only a few close friends even suspect, is a high-end London call girl - a pro, a consummate craftswoman, and one of the most down-to-earth, outspoken, and interesting women you will ever meet. After graduating from university, she found that her impressive degree couldn’t get her a great job, pay her rent, or put food on the table. Then she accidentally discovered that a few hours of fun with a wealthy couple could bag her more money than her girlfriends made in a week, and instantly realized that the world’s oldest profession was for her.

Follow this stilleto-heeled beauty from Mayfair hotel suites, where she debates the merits of Martin Amis and Iris Murdoch after performing every act her client demands; to her hometown, where she sips tea and shops for shoes with her mum. Learn the ABCs of being a call girl from the provocative sidebars that introduce every chapter, and discover what Belle does in her spare time - whether cruising the raunchy underworld of England’s club culture or getting it on with her boyfriend, “the Boy,” all the while managing a non-stop parade of “business appointments” with breathtaking elan.

A sensational bestsller, BELLE DE JOUR sparked a national guessing game as to the identity of this gutsy modern-day Moll Flanders. You won’t need to know her real name to be shocked, amazed, and left limp with laughter by the true story of her day-to-day adventures.

Spiked with penetrating wit and frankness, BELLE DE JOUR will keep you enthralled until its very last page.
