A Book on Taboo!

The LGBTQ literature has been gaining popularity for some years since homosexuality has been accepted in many countries. But there are still more places where this is to be accepted.

Beyond A LOVE STORY

It is indeed a positive result in India that people accept, and many authors are emerging to explore the literature. While Gay literature has been a part of Indian and Greek mythology, the Victorian culture has pushed it aside and coined it as not normal. It has taken decades to let people understand normalcy.

As an avid reader, I have had an excellent opportunity to read books from fiction and non-fiction genres on the LGBTQ community. My first book was ' I am also a Human ' by Jasbir Singh, and the second was Meridith Russo's ' Birthday '. These two books have enlightened me. Thus, my quest to read more about them took me to my friend's NGO that works exclusively for socially abandoned people because they identified their sexuality as LGBTQ. This statement itself is cringing, but it is a fact.

About the Book

Sameer, seduced by his elder cousin Tanmay, gets carried away in a sexual relationship with him. Preeti, Sameer's childhood tutor and best friend, finds solace in her bond with Sameer, which has ripened over the years.

Beyond A Love Story is that story that blasts open all the preconceived notions about sexual orientation and gives the readers to acquaint themselves with the tabooed topics seamlessly. All the credit goes to the author Chitkala Mulye for writing this book.
