โฆ Synopsis
'I wish I had never met you. You've been nothing but an inconvenience.'
Part kitchen-sink realism and part rumination on the nature of love, A Handbook For My Lover is a revealing and explicit memoir of a young Indian woman's erotic affair with a photographer thirty years her senior.
With prose that is charged with intensity and sensuality, this candid exploration of love, lust and becoming heralds a provocative new talent in contemporary Indian literature - one of an independent woman unafraid of her sexuality. Rosalyn D'Mello is India's Anais Nin.
The modern Indian woman's journey into self-awareness through sex, heartache, desire and fulfilment has found a brave new voice in Rosalyn D'Mello.
The Hindustan Times
D'Mello lays down her only law - excess. She wants every pleasure of the flesh and she won't apologise for it.
