About this title

Synopsis

How far would you travel for love?
WINNER OF THE MARCO POLO OUTSTANDING TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018

'A wonderful love story.' National Geographic, Best Books of 2017

The story begins in a public square in New Delhi. On a cold December evening a young European woman of noble descent appears before an Indian street artist known locally as PK and asks him to paint her portrait – it is an encounter that will change their lives irrevocably.

PK was not born in the city. He grew up in a small remote village on the edge of the jungle in East India, and his childhood as an untouchable was one of crushing hardship. He was forced to sit outside the classroom during school, would watch classmates wash themselves if they came into contact with him, and had stones thrown at him when he approached the village temple. According to the priests, PK dirtied everything that was pure and holy. But had PK not been an untouchable, his life would have turned out very differently.

This is the remarkable true story of how love and courage led PK to overcome extreme poverty, caste prejudice and adversity – as well as a 7,000-mile, adventure-filled journey across continents and cultures – to be with the woman he loved.

'Charming… epic.' Daily Mail

'A feel-good story that’s so feel-good it makes other feel-good stories feel bad.' New York Times Book Review
