A beautiful little story of love and life in the countryside in Kyrgyzstan, where farm life is tough on those not away to fight the war. Yet beauty, music and art prevails.

This book was absolutely gorgeous. It wasn’t just a love story about two people, it was a love letter to Kyrgyzstan, to the wild land and the steppes. The way Aitmatow was able to bring me right into the steppe was amazing.
