Last year, Rosalyn D’Mello hit the literary scene with her erotica book ‘A Hand Book for My Lover’. The book which received rave reviews is about her relationship with a man twice her age, a subject that has piqued many a voyeuristic impulse across the centuries.
You will be lucky enough to meet the author as well as hear Rosalyn read from her book at a session called ‘The Root of All Desire’.
The book chronicles six years in the life of an unconventional affair between a young woman writer and her older photographer lover. It is a poetic, erotic account of two lovers fated to seek refuge in the transient. It is a celebration of all that is momentary and fleeting rather than that which is permanent.
