Jill Yadav's love story

Jill Lowe came to India 14 years ago, leaving behind a broken marriage and five grown-up children in England. She was the granddaughter of a baronet, but her husband had lost all her money and inheritance. Lal Singh Yadav, a rustic Haryana driver and a widower was assigned to drive 'Jill Madam'. Love can happen in the unlikeliest of places, and so three years later, they were married. Lal Yadav was her junior by 13 years and spoke only a handful of English words, but they were happy together, until Jill died of cancer last week.
Jill recounted her love story in a book "Yadav: A roadside love story". She was writing a second book about her experience, but she didn't live long enough to finish it. Here's to love! *clinking glass*
