It's quite a simple story and it's not particularly deep, but the descriptions are very vivid and precise. He paints the scene in just a couple of sentences. You can really imagine what it felt like to live in Kyrgyzstan during WW II. (I'd rate it 3.5 if GR allowed half-stars)

Hem konuşmaya ne gerek vardı? İnsan her şeyi anlatamaz, zaten kelimeler de her şeyi anlatmaya yetmez...

Aytmatov’a ilk şöhret kazandıran hikayeymiş Cemile; benim de ilk Aytmatov kitabım. Ah ne çok sevdim Cemileyi, Damyar’ı, kiçine balayı, Kırgız bozkırlarını...
İnsanın içini ısıtan, Kırgız bozkırlarında kendinizi yürüyor gibi hissettiğiniz, bir solukta okuyacağınız samimi bir aşk hikayesi Cemile. Belki de en güzeli...

şimdi yağmurlar başlayacak ve hemen ardından sonbahar gelecekti. sonbahar pelinlerinin ve yaş samanların nemli kokusu şimdiden havaya karışmıştı. neler bekliyordu bizi sonbaharda? neden bilmem, bunu hiç düşünmemiştim.

Eine Liebeserklärung an das Leben, die Natur und die Kunst. Aitmatov kann wie kaum ein anderer Landschaften und die Menschen, die darin leben, lebendig werden lassen.
