Venus in Furs

Deepika Ramesh

This is one of the very few books I finished reading in a couple of hours. It was compelling, queer, intriguing in its own way. I found it more bizarre after I learned that the author had named the heroine after his wife. Interesting folks! :)

For some weird reason, I kept thinking of Philip Carey and Mildred of 'Of Human Bondage' while reading this book. Perhaps, that was a toxic relationship too. 

I don't see myself rereading this book, but I am glad I cleansed my palate after consuming quite a few spooky reads. 

Oh, did I mention how much I love the title of this book? Venus in Furs -- what a fitting title!
