Simple, yet I found this really affecting. There's scuh a sensory aspect to the descriptions, they were so vivid and lyrical. A story about love, rather than a romance, but love in many forms - including love of and connection to one's land and history. Truly, one Daniyar started singing I fell for this short little book!
