Real Reads: Belle
Alice MacKay Room, Vancouver Public Library, 350 W. Georgia, Vancouver Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate mixed-race daughter of a Royal Navy captain. Raised by her aristocratic great uncle and his wife, Belle’s lineage and wealth afford her certain privileges yet the colour of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing.
