This book will teach readers everything they’ve ever wanted to know about the importance of cows in Indian society.

Thank you, Oprah!
The real reason you'll love this book is the author herself: a woman so curious, funny and self-deprecating that she is able to show us—delightfully—how the past informs our future.
