YEARNING FOR AFFECTION is a profound and unsettling novel that explores desire, morality, and the quiet hypocrisies of society. Set in rural India, it follows Jagveer Singh, an aging widower whose life of restraint and faith begins to fracture under the weight of suppressed longing. A seemingly spiritual journey draws him into a hidden world where devotion disguises exploitation, and virtue blurs into vice.
As Jagveer's inner conflict deepens, the narrative expands to reveal stories of caste oppression, social injustice, medical ethics, and the commodification of human lives. Through richly detailed storytelling and philosophical reflection, the novel questions rigid social norms and exposes the fragile line between sin and salvation.
Bold, thought-provoking, and deeply human, Yearning for Affection confronts the reader with an uncomfortable truth: the heart often defies the rules society imposes upon it.
