Dshamilja is a poignant novella by the Kyrgyz author Tschingis Aitmatow. The story is narrated by 15-year-old Said, who observes the life of his young, married sister-in-law, Dshamilja. While her unloved husband is away at the front, the self-confident and lively Dshamilja meets and falls in love with the shy, dreamy Danijar. Through the eyes of a child who begins to understand the power of love, we follow Dshamilja as she breaks away from her home village and old traditions to seek a new life. It is a beautifully told story about love, freedom, and the courage to follow one's heart.
