In Victorian England, a self-contained and insular doctor is stripped of his self-belief, his pride and his profession, and finally, his masculinity itself.All the above at the hands of an aristocratic Slavic beauty with a passion for male obedience and an even more disturbing and psychotic obsession for the colour pink.An obsession that will lead to murder, compulsion, and the most abject human bondage.CONTAINS ADULT READING.
