A review by helenskaa
Dshamilja by Tschingis Aitmatov
3.0
more like a 3.5-3.75
i picked this up because my father liked it in school (being the only book he actually read in his years in school, i was hesitant) and surprisingly liked it. yes, it is a love story, but only for the last third of this little novella. aitmatov‘s detailed writing and vivid descriptions of nature are beautiful. personally, i would’ve found it more interesting if it were from jamila‘s perspective.
