Items related to Indian Attachment
Because of Sarah Lloyd's relationship with a placid, beautiful, opium-addicted Sikh, she spent two years in rural India, first in a remote mud-built Punjabi village, and then in the impoverished community of a dubious holy-man. Here she lived in a minute brick hut with living expenses of only 50 pence a day. This book is part travel book, part love story.

Sarah Lloyd was born in London in 1947 and educated at North London Collegiate School. Afterwards she trained as a landscape architect. At the age of 25, having won a British Council scholarship to Brazil, she began the first of her many journeys abroad.
