An Indian Attachment

Part travel book, part love story, An Indian Attachment tells of the two years Sarah Lloyd spent in rural India, in love with a placid, beautiful, opium-addicted Sikh. Living firstly in a remote mud-built Punjabi village, they later moved to be part of the impoverished community of a dubious holy man, where they lived in a minute, windowless, brick hut on around fifty pence a day. No other outsider has written so convincingly about life as the vast majority of Indians know it.
