Learn moreThe Indus rises in Tibet to flow west across India before turning south through Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. For millennia it has been worshipped as a god; for centuries it has been a route of imperial conquest. Following the mighty river upstream, this highly acclaimed, award-winning travelogue takes the listener on a voyage through 2000 miles of spectacular landscapes and fiercely contested territory, and back through 5000 years of rich and eventful history.
Alice Albinia is the award-winning author of The Britannias, Empires of the Indus, Leela's Book, and Cwen. Her writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and National Geographic, among other publications. She lives in London.
