EXODAI by Elizabeth Hendrick is a brutal, honest and unflinching look at love, obsession and torture.
TRIGGER WARNING: this book contains graphic descriptions of real-life sadistic torture.
Elizabeth’s drives and desires have always been unusual. Beginning in early childhood, her need for love and suffering took her from the prim surroundings of a Norfolk girls’ school to the secret, latex-clad, rope-bound, whip-lashed delights of the Tokyo role-playing scene.
For Elizabeth, torture was not about sexual gratification – it was about love. In this frank and open memoir, she tells the story of a remarkable personal journey. Attracted to other girls from an early age, Elizabeth struggled to come to terms with her sexuality. As a schoolgirl, her fantasies of torture – always for the benefit of whichever girl she was in love with – were rooted in her own inability to accept herself as a lesbian or reconcile her desires with her Christian beliefs. Before finally realising that connection, Elizabeth would go through years of emotional and physical pain.
Having experimented at university, Elizabeth discovered a whole new world when her career as a high-flying headhunter took her to Tokyo. There she was inducted into the Japanese fetish scene and learnt what real role-playing was all about. When she fell in love with a gorgeous Japanese dominatrix called Tomo and became her slave, she began a descent into hell. Tomo proved to be an irredeemable sadist who took torture far beyond the accepted limits. Elizabeth went to the brink of destruction for Tomo.
EXODAI is an extremely dark read; there is no sugarcoating it. Elizabeth is extremely brave to sit down and put pen to paper to write about this harrowing part of her life.
The book and the author do not shy away from discussing both the psychological and physical aspects of what she went through. It is often dark and heartbreaking but insightful, thought-provoking and compelling.
