Yadav : Finding the Heart of India

by Jill Lowe

Jill Lowe made her first trip to India for all the wrong reasons. After seventeen years of marriage her husband had gone bankrupt with her inheritance. For over a decade Jill worked as a tour guide to support her family while unsuitable men came and went. One day she decided to prove how independent she was. She would spend three months in India, a place she knew very little about. Despite seeing the south with a companion who never stopped complaining, Jill fell in love with the country. Once travelling alone, Jill hired a driver to take her to Rajasthan, but the charming yet infuriating Yadav had other ideas. He insisted he take Jill to his farm in Haryana to see the real India, where the nearest telephone was twenty miles away. It was the beginning of a most extraordinary relationship
