Venus in India

As a classic in erotic literature this book of course has gone in and out of print over the past years .... I have read the second 1989 printing by Carroll & Graf (the champions of erotic lit) in a 299 page edition that contains two volumes by Anonymous (my favorite author) .......The book deals with the exploits of Captain Deveraux back in the 1800's when India was still occupied by the Brits.... In the first volume the esteemed Captain is billeted in Hindustan waiting for orders. At his hotel the captain meets Lizzie the wife of one of his fellow officers. Captain Deveraux and Lizzie develop more than a relationship, hmmmmm, and Lizzie then describes how she was seduced at the age of thirteen by another soldier Captain Vincent in Britain .... The second volume deals with the esteemed captain travelling to the hinterlands where he meets the Selwyn family, his commanding officer, his wife and two very young daughters Amy and Fanny .... The fact that there were few eligible British men around certainly temped our esteemed Captain Deveraux and tru to the erotic nature of the book he does succumb .. actually over and over .. This is an EXCEPTIONAL book in that there IS a story, there is character development to some degree and an account of a very believable lifestyle of British officers in their occupation of the Indian subcontinent. Reality is wahat makes the eroticism so so sweet requiring this book to be a MUST HAVE for your erotic library ..
