Would she come home looking like Christy Turlington and would she pick up a Buddhist serenity on the way? Or did something much funnier, more interesting and more complicated happen. And what began to truly seduce her was India itself. The relentless obsession with self-perfection and the alluring market in self-enlightenment all began to appear rather shallower than expected.

After over a decade spent working and drinking too much in the world of advertising, Lucy decided she'd had enough of debating the meaning of the Jolly Green Giant and wanted 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. Lucy Edge tells the story of her personal quest for serenity and flexibility through the ashrams and gurus of India.
