Published in 1958, it was described by French poet Louis Aragon as \u201cthe most beautiful love story in the world,\u201d and while that might be up for debate, it depends on how you, the reader, would define love. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story follows the perspective of an aging Kyrgyz painter as he gazes upon his most precious work.<\/strong> Hidden from the eyes of many, a young man and a young woman have their backs turned, a step away from being out of frame, on a quiet autumn day in the Central Asian Steppes. From that vantage point, the narrator begins recalling the story that inspired this work \u2014 exploring forbidden romances, unrequited love, and the grief of letting go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The novel takes place during WWII on a farm in Kyrgyzstan.<\/strong> The men have gone to work, leaving Said, the then-15-year-old narrator, to care for two households, which include his sister-in-law Jamilia. Infatuation makes way for a forbidden love, which is soon stopped in its track when Jamilia develops her own separate love interest. From that point onwards, we share our narrator\u2019s hopelessness as he comes into terms with reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Jamilia unfolds over one continuous chapter, and is the kind of novel that can fly by in one sitting. <\/strong>Despite the simple prose, it manages to leave quite the impression \u2014 a certain melancholia that seeps through the pages in a calm, quiet delivery. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In our opinion, Jamilia might not be the greatest love story of all time in the traditional sense<\/strong>, but it's certainly a unique one that inspires contemplation and introspection, leaving a palpable sense of loss after the final page had been turned. If you\u2019ve been looking for an off-the-beaten-path classic worth your time, look no further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO FIND IT-<\/strong> You can find the paperback version of Jamilia at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/diwanegypt.com\/product\/jamilia\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Diwan<\/a>.
