    While I enjoyed learning about the nomads, I found the writing to be a bit dry at times. It could have been more engaging. Decent.

    I loved learning about the Van Gujjars and their way of life. The book is insightful and thought-provoking, making you wonder about our modern world.

    A fascinating glimpse into a disappearing world. Benanav’s writing is evocative, though sometimes a bit slow-paced. Overall, a worthwhile read.

    It was okay. Not really that amazing. I think the author could have done more with the material. Worth a read if you are interested.
