Books by Alice Albinia

Leela is moving back to Delhi from New York. She knows her return will unsettle precariously balanced lives. Twenty-two years ago her sister was seduced by Vyasa, a young university lecturer. Now an eminent Sanskrit scholar, Vyasa is preparing for the unlikely marriage of his son, Ash, to the child of a Hindu nationalist.

From Tibet to Pakistan, a mesmerising history of the Indus River's civilizations, emperors and explorers.
