I was looking for this book but missed to pick, but now I am sure that I want to buy it after reading your review. Thanks for the recommendation
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pick Anuradha. Teja Lele Desai had to change twelve schools in as many years, and learnt about adaptability to her army brat upbringing. I've read many books on essentialism and minimalistic living. Adding this book to my TBR list, pretty sure it has nuggets that come from army experience. Thanks for the review!
