With stories of 30 amazing contemporary Indian women, this book looks

at what shaped them, the challenges they faced, the influences they had, the

choices they made and how they negotiated around or broke the boundaries

that sought to confine them, either through society or circumstance. From

diverse backgrounds, different generations, they have risen through sheer

grit, determination, bolstered with passion, and are, today, names to look

up to, to hold out as examples to the next generation of young women and

girls, giving them courage to reach out to their dreams. From politics to

sport, from the creative and performing arts to cinema and television, from

business leaders to scientists, legal luminaries and more, this book features

the stories of these much celebrated, fabulous women: Sushma Swaraj, Sheila

Dikshit, Fathima Beevi, Mahasweta Devi, Amrita Sher-Gil, Amrita Pritam,

Sonal Mansingh, Lata Mangeshkar, Anita Desai, M.S. Subbulakshmi, Harita

Guruswamy, Tessy Thomas, Aparna Sen, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and Gayatri

Devi, among others.

In the shadows of their turbulent pasts, three women made of the light find their destinies intertwined.

Noor, a fallen angel, is condemned to an eternal existence on Earth, forever fleeing from the hounds of hell and creatures of the netherworld. Rani, a once-vain beauty, is now possessed by an invisible lover, an entity that has consumed her body and soul, marking her for itself. Gulab, having murdered her father in cold blood, has escaped a nightmarish home and forges a perilous alliance with Teja, a hitman and collector of souls.

As their fates intertwine, they must navigate through realms of unimaginable darkness, where terrifying entities - both earthly and beyond - pursue them.

From the ethereal heavens to the infernal depths of hell and every realm in between, The Moon in the Lining of Her Skin weaves a spellbinding tale where love and loyalty are tested amidst the eternal struggle between light and dark.
