'[This] is one of those genuinely illuminating stories that come
along once in a while. At heart an against-all-odds love story,
this wonderful book does so much to explain why Indian society is
the way it is. The story of PK, growing up an 'untouchable' at a
time when such labels should have been abolished, is touching,
harrowing and ultimately enlightening. The writing is humorous and
tender, the cast of characters joyous, and best of all - it's all
true.' * Vaseem Khan, author of The Baby Ganesh Detective Agency
Series *
'A must-read because you won't find any other love story that is so
beautiful, touching, and - above all - true' * Grazia *
'This is a story of human connection that spans continents, class,
and race.' * Library Journal *
