This book is written in beautiful but restrained language. It has that feeling of a naive / innocent narrator who can observe the beauty of the world around them without being florid. I found this book to be almost perfect. My only complaint is the last part felt to quick, suddenly the seasons changed and Jamilia and Daniyar had eloped, I would have liked to feel a bit more build up in the autumn too

Not bad. A bit heavy handed at points, but fun to read a book set among the nomadic steppe people of Kyrgyzstan, and written by someone that knows the life intimately
