Camel from Kyzylkum is a vivid exploration of Gelya's life as she embarks on a remarkable journey from Ukraine to the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan and onward through Austria, Italy, and, ultimately, America. Along the way, she delves into themes of hope, family, loss, and resilience, painting a picture of the pursuit of self-determination. Through Gelya's poignant narrative, readers gain insight into life under Soviet rule, the sacrifices of emigration, and the immense courage it takes to start anew in unfamiliar lands.
Literary Titan praised the memoir, stating: "Using a simple and engaging tone, Lara speaks about her own diverse experiences and leaves the readers spellbound with her quest for a better life." The review highlights Gelya's storytelling style, likening it to a diary, capturing the emotional upheavals and personal ordeals of her journey with candidness. From her struggle to re-establish herself in the U.S., to her fight to reunite with her daughter, the memoir reveals the intense grief, betrayal, and eventual acceptance that shaped Gelya's transformation.
