Book description
A sharply funny travelogue from a fantastic travel writer. Lucy Edge
tells the story of her personal quest for serenity and yogic
flexibility through the ashrams and gurus of India.
After over a decade spent working and drinking too much in the world
of advertising, Lucy decided she had to leave town for an altogether
more spiritual and, well, meaningful way of life - And whilst she was
at it, she could acquire a newly lithe and supple body.
Would she come home looking like Christy Turlington and pick up some
Buddhist serenity on the way? Or did something much funnier,
interesting and complicated happen? Did she fall in love - with a
place and its people?
A divine comedy of the Western obsession with life's deeper meaning,
a yogic experiment and a love letter to India, this is a very funny
book from a wonderful travel writer.
Lucy Edge has worked in advertising for fifteen years, on the board
of leading agencies, and has won awards for her creative campaigns with
The Famous Grouse, Lloyds, Marks & Spencer and the Green Giant. She
lives in London but also spends a lot of time in strange positions in
India.
