The novel is presented as the autobiography of its fictional author, a young British Cavalry officer who embarks on a romantic journey in India. "The war in Afghanistan seemed to be drawing to a close when I received sudden orders to proceed, at once, from England to join the First Battalion of my regiment, which was then serving there. I had just been promoted to Captain and had been married about eighteen months." Sent to India on a last-minute military assignment, Captain Devereaux takes his time reaching his final destination on the North West Frontier. Along the way, he stops in Nowshera and Cherat, where he indulges in romantic encounters with the wives and daughters of his fellow soldiers. Initially, he falls in love with the lovely Lizzie Wilson, and then he becomes captivated by the daughters of Colonel Selwyn. Charles Devereaux completely surrenders to passion and desire, forgetting about his wife and young child back home. Venus in India is a remarkable example of nineteenth-century erotica, showcasing the power of words to ignite passion. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Charles Devereaux's Venus in India is a classic of Victorian erotica reimagined for contemporary readers.
