The Years of Rice and Salt
The Black Death rolls through Europe in the 14th century, but instead of killing one-third of the population, the plague destroys 99 percent of the peoples of Europe. This alternate history speculates on a world where China and Islam are the formative world powers, while a fiercely innovative and protective India struggles to maintain its independence. Generations of a reconfigured history unfold through the voices of several characters reincarnated each time they die, usually with no memory of the past. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
