Sorry Pangloss, after I made that post I tabbed back into Wordpad and kept writing. I had to write a primary source analysis on the story 'Jamila', by Chingiz Aitmatov. He's a Kyrgyz author, and it was a love story set during WWII in a farming village in what is now Kyrgyzstan. It was actually a very touching love story.
I ended up writing about how the villagers were influenced by nomadic traditions, by Islam, and by the Soviet regime, and in particular how the main character represented a Kyrgyz take on the 'New Soviet Woman'.
Thank you for the offer anyway.
