Welcome to my page

Dear readers,

Thank you so much for checking out my blog. I will be posting my writings in Uighur, Russian and English on this blog thanks to my son David who is helping me with this task.
Russian translation of my first book "Life Lived not in Vain" will be available in July 2007. I am working on its presentation in Almaty, Kazakhstan where I reside now. This book is a documentary novel devoted to my husband Azat Mashurov with whom I spent 35 years of my life.
Currently, I am working on my second novel. It is a work of fiction, but heavily based on the true events of my own life and life of others who I met in my life. I want the world to know what it is like to be a woman in Central Asia, to be a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife and be happy in these difficult times since the Soviet Revolution, through the World War II, Perestroyka and current events.

I hope you will join me again and share your thoughts with me.

With Love,
Durnyam Mashurova
