Fille unique élevée sans amour, elle est éduquée en garçon - et en blanc pour se battre contre les Anglais qui se croient propriétaires de l'Inde. Son père est en prison, sa mère, tuberculeuse, hante les sanatoriums européens tout en contaminant sa fille. Celle qui a choisi le surnom d'Indu Boy dans sa première enfance devient, loin de son pays natal, une jeune Occidentale polyglotte. Elle s'appelle Indira Nehru. Avec ses cheveux coupés à la Jeanne d'Arc, la fille de brahmane fait scandale en se mariant à un parsi désargenté, Feroze Gandhi. Il l'aime. Et elle ? Pas du tout. Elle a juste choisi un père pour ses futurs enfants.

It’s the last few days of an amazing trip to Pakistan, and Amina finds it hard to leave the sights, the shops, and most of all, her family. As she heads back to Greendale to start seventh grade, the experience has changed her, and she’s eager to share it with her friends. At home, though, Amina discovers her friends don’t seem interested in hearing about her trip. With everyone growing in different directions, Amina wonders where she belongs - especially after her school presentation on Malala goes sideways, leaving her feeling like nobody understands both her worlds.

In New Jersey, Parviz Amritzar is mourning for his family - killed by a US airstrike back in Pakistan - and vowing revenge against his adoptive country. He devises a plan to shoot down Air Force One and gets a lucky break when he reaches a terrorist contact who knows how he can obtain a surface-to-air missile from the Russians. When the CIA picks up on the rumors of this plot, they call on Malko Linge to carefully observe the would-be terrorist. But as soon as Malko thinks he has a handle on the situation, everything changes.
