Soldier & Spice - An Army Wife's Life  (English, Paperback, Aditi Mathur Kumar)

As a fellow army wife I had picked up the book with a lot expectations and overall Aditi’s book does not disappoint. She has touched upon all the relevant and at times controversial topics that affect the life of an army wife. Glossed over them actually but this was a love story first and an army story second. The gossip and conflicts like this happen in every group of friends, ladies kitty clubs or even in office politics. She has meshed them very well into the story that might as well have ...

What a wonderful book! Yet another Chick-lit I've read in past one week and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed. The humour filled writing surely makes it gripping and the constrant twists in the book makes it compulsive to finish it off in one go!

You can totally relate to Pia, and her feelings and reactions to the events happening around her. One just can't help but imagine a life in her shoes!

All the characters in the book are very well portrayed, and it just can't get any better! All f...

Ordered this book after reading about it in DNA Bombay and then in The Hindu, and Flipkart delivered it the very next day!

And today I finished it simply because it is a book you can't put down - it is moves very fast. Though anything substantial starts to happen in the later chapters, the funny army incidents, the hilarious lists and the crisp and fluid writing makes you enjoy every bit. The characters are real and not saint like which makes it difficult to relate to a book, and this is th...

For a civil girl like me, Army life is as foreign as it can get. But thanks to Pia, a regular-girl-turned-army-wife; I now know how life in Army is, at least to some extent!

Pia is a fun-loving girl and Arjun, her husband is adorable (umm.. I love men in uniform). The story revolves mostly around this new bride in the Army. About her getting used to the Army life, do's and don'ts that every Army wife should follow, her BFFs, about how every little event is so grand in the Army, all the high...

Meet Pia - a "normal" girl from Delhi. She loves her short dresses, her loud friends, and her casual F-word including language. Pia marries an Army officer Arjun, and her world suddenly changes. I laughed so much reading this book that I was kind of sad it ended. This book is an account of an urban girl married into the forces and through all the ups and downs, eventually falling in love with the army wife life.

To all those people who are stressed out (and most of us are. Sad but true), I r...

A novel on army wives and their emotions they go through. The novel is sneak preview of life of a newly wed civil army wife. The book is quirky, emotional and funny. The pace of narration is good for casual reader (which most of us are). A must read for all the non-army people to know about the life in army unit.

Mrs Aditi Mathur kapoor did a marvelous job by truthfully bringing out the way life in the Army goes on.She was considerate in many ways to the senior ladies "Samp bhi Mare Lathi Bhi na tute". I wished she had brought out the secret behind how senior ladies always win tambola especially during farewell parties. My best compliments to her. Young girls falling in love with Army , better read it before tying the knot.
