In this magisterial history, Audrey Truschke tells the fascinating story of the region historically known as India—which includes today’s India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Afghanistan—and the people who have lived there.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future.

If the procedure is successful, her work could change the world. But a failure could cost everything: precious lives, Nora's career, and the role women will be allowed to play in medicine.

Al club, tutti mi chiamano "Principessa”. Ma io non sono una ragazzina sdolcinata: odio il rosa, disprezzo regali come fiori e cioccolatini e le passeggiate in spiaggia mi annoiano almeno quanto le cene a lume di candela. Sono uno spirito libero. Adoro divertirmi e passare le notti in sella a una moto. Amo sentire il vento tra i capelli e vedere la strada davanti a me: sono nata motociclista e morirò motociclista. Non ho intenzione di lasciarmi domare da un uomo senza dargli del filo da torcere, ma... se arrivasse qualcuno in grado di farlo, sarei sua per sempre.

Princess. That's what the club calls me. I'm not frilly, into pink, or expect a man to woo me with chocolates and flowers. I don't need candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. I'm not the girl you take home to your parents. I like wild, fun, and good times. I'm the kind of girl you put on the back of your bike and ride through the night...in more ways than one. I like the wind in my hair and the open road before me. I was born a biker princess and I'll be one until the day I die. The man in my life can try to tame me, but he'll have one hell of a fight on his hands.
