Tinted Venus
by F. Anstey
'Tinted Venus' Summary
'Tinted Venus' follows Reginald, a young man torn between his fiancé and a captivating woman from his past. He finds himself at an amusement park with the woman from his past, and during their walk through the park, they encounter a beautiful statue with remarkably small hands. Reginald attempts to demonstrate his fiancé's small hands by placing her engagement ring on the statue's finger, but it fits perfectly. The statue, however, is not merely a sculpture. It is a magical being named Venus, who is drawn to Reginald's romantic entanglement. Venus's presence disrupts Reginald's life and creates a whirlwind of comical and romantic situations. The story explores themes of love, desire, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, with a delightful blend of wit and charm.Book Details
