A life less ordinary is the story of a young woman and the struggle she faces as she grows up, gets married as a teenager, has kids, separates from her husband, starts working and in the course, ends up at a benevolent employer’s place who encourages her to read and write… know the details after reading the book…
Written in as straight jacketed a fashion as possible, none of the frills of a writer… said it like it is… sort of reminds you how extra-ordinary everyone’s life can be.. sort of like a collection of diary entries… kind of encourages everyone to write, as is evident from this blog..
Favourite quote: “put yourself in his shoes for once and see how you feel. even if you feel you cannot forgive him, you must do so. we must forgive people, even if we don’t like them…” (p 170)
Final analysis: worth buying, worth reading… good for researchers looking for life stories and biographies…
