A modern classic of Soviet literature, a love story that ranks alongside Turgenev's First Love.
Jamilia''s husband is off fighting at the front. She spends her days hauling sacks of grain from the threshing floor to the train station in their small village in the Caucasus, accompanied by Seit, her young brother-in-law, and Daniyar, a sullen newcomer to the village who has been wounded on the battlefield.
Seit observes the beautiful, spirited Jamilia spurn men''s advances, and wince at the dispassionate letters she receives from her husband. Meanwhile, undeterred by Jamilia''s teasing, Daniyar sings as they return each evening from the fields. Soon Jamilia is in love, and she and Daniyar elope just as her husband returns.
