### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good but Short History for Those Who Love the Movie
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2018*

This is a very interesting book, and I highly recommend it, especially if you have seen the movie. There is very little documentary evidence on Dido Belle herself, which means that:1. The book is very short, and 25% of it is appendices and bibliography.2. Most of the book is not about Dido herself, but about other people of color from the time period, Lord Mansfield, and the court cases of the period that advanced the abolition movement.Paula Byrne is a very engaging biographical and historical writer, and she does a good job of drawing a picture of Dido's life from the scraps of record we have, combined with ingenious deductions and surmises, filling in the gaps with historical context and the lives of the people around her.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    True history of who Belle was.
  

*by C***2 on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016*

I have read some of the other reviews and realize that if you didn't want an accurate account of the time surrounding Belle than this is not the book for you.  I personally enjoyed this book!The author writes about the times and the happenings surrounding Belle.  The reason she does this she tells us is that there really is not a lot of actual written history of Belle.  Her family lord Chief Justice her surrogate father(natural great uncle) shields her from the public eye.  So the author tells us what the actual accounts of the slave trade and what it means. About her father who was a captain and how and when he may of met and maybe loved Belle's mother.I thought the book was interesting and informative and enjoyed reading and learning more of that part of history which was very unpleasant and inhuman.Well worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Misleading title but interesting book!
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016*

This book is not about Dido Belle...very little is known about her.  Most of what's written about her in this book is supposition. It's really about the English slave trade and abolitionists in England.  I don't read much non fiction, but I finished this one. Very informative, disturbing of course, and quite interesting.
