AN ARMY WIFE ON A TRAPEZE

The book is a collection of travel-tales of an Army wife in which history, romance, and realism commingle to provide a wonderful reading experience. The author is a literary connoisseur, a history-trotter, and a travel-holic. The narratives reflect her unique life, passion, adventure, research, love for mythology and history. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that each chapter comes alive with the bygone and the contemporary as the journey progresses, unfolding the hidden past, folklores, and facts of interest. The anecdotes transport the readers from the last post of Alexander the Great, to King Puru's beloved Fort; from the forests of Palamou to the Jewish Town of Kochi amongst innumerous other places. The lucid style of writing takes the readers inexorably along an exotic journey.
