This book is about Saba Minhas, an army brat. It is set in the time frame of late nineties. The story begins when she has decided to enter an army girls' hostel . Her first day, introductions, washing clothes for seniors in return of a help, about the different girls found in a hostel, the stylish one, the bully one, the calm one to the drug addict one. She has all of them in her hostel. But apart from that her ability to make all those observations so vivid through the crafty use of words for rest of the world to see is something extraordinary. What a beautiful language has she used. An amazing talent she is and then what an underlying philosophy behind all those romantic escapades of the '90s! Absolutely charming.The writing style was awesome. It made reading the book like watching a movie. It was well described and explained. I loved how perfectly the main character was developed. She had a certain charm to her. The love triangle trope was subtle yet enough. I'm glad it wasn't exaggerated much. The language was modest and fair. Combat Skirts is an atypical books set in the late 90s in Calcutta. This is Saba's story, when saba enrolled in an Army hostel to study Law, she was torn between her duty towards her parents and her newfound freedom. To complicate matters, she has more suitors than she can handle.

Loved reading the book, a different story than the usual ones and the title and cover are also unique in their own way. The book starts with Saba Minhas leaving home for the first time at 18 and staying at the AWWA (Army Wives Welfare Association) hostel, Calcutta. Unlike most other young women of that age who are assured and know what they want, Saba has lost her way due to a trauma in her past, and unsure about herself. Through the story, she navigates the vagaries of hostel life, quirky and sometimes downright nasty hostel hostel mates, her dreams versus her parents' expectations. There are also possible romantic options: Kabir who likes her and treats her like a gentleman; Faraaz who seems a perfect match, and Adil who is an enigma, but makes her experience that mystery called chemistry! Combat Skirts is a wonderful book that will touch your heart and soul. I quite loved this book to the core. The protagonist's character buildup is done keenly Saba is like The Girl next door who is full of life, her eyes are full of passion, a kind hearted and has an attractive persona. I personally love her because her life was full of chaos and despite of all the predicaments I found her amusing clever and capable character is hopeful above all. There are acronyms used by Saba that are downright hilarious - FMG for Farhan Mirza Baig, Ruchi - 2 named so because there is another Ruchi before her and so on! In so many interactions with fellow people, she mirrors my emotions and that was so much fun to read! The story-telling was definitely a joy-ride!Reading this book was akin to having an animated conversation with a girl best friend. This romantic comedy has not fallen prey to clichés. Its script flow is inviting, the pauses accurate, the choice of words for expressions of a teenager going through the vagaries of hostel life, friends-turned-foes-turned-real-people, and too many suitors in love is amazing! The prose is peppy and buoyant, so much so that the reader cannot help but enjoy Saba's antics in the phases of her years from age 18-19. The description of people and places ( ..the visitors’room was like any other anteroom…”) are so vivid as if the words are getting transformed into objects and characters on celluloid. Select your preferred return option: a FREE Royal Mail return label or a paid via Hermes, Collect+, DPD or UPS This Novel is not like any other novel in the Market. It is a completely different experience and believes me you would love it. You must get this book! My heart melted while reading it. You can feel the emotions and I frankly have yet to find an actual book that can communicate feelings as vividly as Sahana Ahmed had. The way Sahana writes is like an exact romance and family drama and I love love. I felt like this book might have toyed with your emotions just a little bit, but it was okay because it was actually enjoyable. The themes of happiness, sadness, love, and faith really do come to show with the fate of these characters.

Once you have processed your return in the portal, you're ready to post it off. Make sure you keep proof of postage. Most of the characters have a charming air about them, their personas vastly differing from each other. Special attention to detail has been given to bring out their dynamic personalities and their striking qualities. For example, we aren’t just told that Kabir is an exceptionally talented crossword maker, we see its proof throughout the narrative. All through the book, there are also delightful descriptions of the city of Calcutta as well as the camaraderie and its twin, competitiveness, within the army families. There's also a chase towards the end, making for a complete romantic ending. There are not many novels which are both plot and character driven and this certainly stands out on that front. The narration is impeccable and every reader can feel everything happening in front of his own eyes as author has incorporated a very visual way of writing. The tale makes you nostalgic and yearning for more once one reaches the fag end. Two: The army hostel is a well-disguised jail. The rules are very strict and should be strictly adhered to. And in the end, they don’t leave Saba much room to exercise the so-called ‘freedom’.

There are times the novel reminds you of adventures of hostel life like for instance the meeting of Charu and Aman at girl’s hostel at midnight hour or the drama and confrontation with police officer at the police station. That episode shows that contrary to what her roomies believe, Saba can rise up to the occasion if situation demands so.
