wild_night_in 's review for:

Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
4.0

I've finally recovered from the horror of reading the '[b:Fifty Shades of Grey|10818853|Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)|E.L. James|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1385207843s/10818853.jpg|15732562]' trilogy and decided to dip my toe into the 'erotica' section again.

Seeing as Sacher-Masoch isn't half as frequently mentioned by my friends as de Sade, I subconsciously expected 'Venus in Furs' to be less interesting and even less palatable than some of de Sade's work.

Gosh, I wasn't expecting this to be so good!

Whilst I did find Wanda's abrupt character changes, well, abrupt. It felt more realistic and much more sub-Dom than I'd expected.
