An Indian Attachment [Paperback]

An Indian Attachment is part travel book, part love story. 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 fifty pence a day. No other outsider has been able to write so convincingly about the plight of Indian villagers. This is by no means a typical travelers' narrative... she saw life in India as it really is, far from the relative luxury experienced by tourists. Book News Inc.Part travel book, part love story, the author chronicles her stay in impoverished Indian villages with her Sikh lover.GB
