Pikei, a poor artist, was born into a family of outcasts in a small village in eastern India. From early childhood he knew that an unusual fate awaited him; the oracle’s voice was burned into his memory forever: “You will marry a girl not from our village, and not even from our country. She will be a musician. She will have her own jungles. She is born under the sign of the Bull.”
This is a wonderful story about how a young Indian artist, equipped with nothing but a handful of brushes and faith in the prophecy, hopped onto a used bicycle and crossed all of Asia and Europe to find the woman he loves.
