The Amazing Story of the Man Who Cycled from India to Europe for Love by Per J Andersson

The Amazing Story of the Man Who Cycled from India to Europe for Love by Per J Andersson

'A feel-good story that’s so feel-good it makes other feel-good stories feel bad'

'A wonderful love story.'

'A beautiful, epic tale of love and perseverance.'

‘Charming…epic…a journey repeatedly facilitated by the kindness of strangers, but also fraught with danger and pitfalls…[a] 7,000-mile journey across continents, lasting almost five months – all in the name of love.’

'Often filled with sumptuous prose.'

‘[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.’ 

‘A must-read because you won’t find any other love story that is so beautiful, touching, and – above all – true’ 

'This is a story of human connection that spans continents, class, and race.'
