WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME
₨ 2,295INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK
?It?s perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . One of the best books I?ve ever read.? ?Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author
New York Times bestselling author Gillian McAllister has created a thriller unlike any other in this endlessly clever, twisty story of a mother who must move backward through time to prevent tragedy from striking at the heart of her family.
Can you stop a murder after it?s already happened?
It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger.
She doesn?t know who the victim is, or why Todd has committed such a devastating act of violence. All she knows is that her life, and Todd?s, have been shattered.
After her son is taken into custody, Jen falls asleep in despair. But when she wakes up?it is yesterday. The murder has not happened yet?and there may be a chance to stop it. Each morning, when Jen wakes, she is further back in the past, first weeks, then years, before the murder. And Jen realizes that somewhere in the past lies the trigger for Todd?s terrible crime?and it is her mission to find it, and prevent it from taking place.
Both the story of a mother?s love and the sacrifices she will make for her child, and a thriller with a brilliant twist, Wrong Place Wrong Time is a one-of-a-kind novel that begs to be read in one sitting.

THE GOLDEN ROAD
₨ 4,395A revolutionary new history of the diffusion of Indian ideas, from the award-winning, bestselling author and co-host of the chart-topping Empire podcast
‘Richly woven, highly readable … Written with passion and verve’ Spectator
‘Dazzling … Not just a historical study but also a love letter’ Guardian
‘An outstanding new account … The most compelling retelling we have had for generations’ Financial TimesIndia is the forgotten heart of the ancient world
For a millennium and a half, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas. Indian art, religions, technology, astronomy, music, dance, literature, mathematics and mythology blazed a trail across the world, along a Golden Road that stretched from the Red Sea to the Pacific.
William Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India’s oft-forgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia. For the first time, he gives a name to this spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world. From the largest Hindu temple in the world at Angkor Wat to the Buddhism of China, from the trade that helped fund the Roman Empire to the creation of the numerals we use today (including zero), India transformed the culture and technology of its ancient world – and our world today as we know it.

Over a lifetime spent at the frontline of solidarity and resistance, Arundhati Roy?s words have lit a clear way through the darkness that surrounds us.

Her subjects: war, nationalism, fundamentalism and rising fascism, turbocharged by neoliberalism and now technology. But also: truth, justice, freedom, resistance, solidarity and above all imagination ? in particular the imagination to see what is in front of us, to envision another way, and to fight for it.
Arundhati Roy?s voice ? as distinct and compelling in conversation as in her writing ? explores these themes and more in this essential collection of interviews with David Barsamian, conducted over two decades, from 2001 to the present.

BROKEN THREADS
₨ 3,245An extraordinary history of Mishal Husain?s four grandparents, whose lives were shaped by the tumultuous politics and prejudices of empire, war and partition.
In this narrative odyssey that traces the complexities of her own ancestry, Mishal Husain sheds incredible light on a landmark historical period. Mary, a devout Catholic of Anglo-Indian parentage, leaves a struggling family to train as a nurse. Tahirah was born to middle-class Muslim parents and grows up with an emphasis on education and aspiration. Mumtaz steps away from everything and everyone he knows to train as a doctor, while Shahid finds purpose and success as a Sandhurst cadet.
This gripping family history follows a nation becoming ever more divided in the face of social inequality, civil disobedience and the Second World War. Two centuries of British rule in South Asia come to a bloody end with the birth of independent India and the new state of Pakistan, dividing families and communities while leaving a legacy of distrust, tension and conflict that endures today.
In constructing a warm and vivid portrait of an exceptional family, Broken Threads confronts the acute sense of loss brought on by partition, the rupturing of cross-border relationships, and the resulting shift in identities.
