Lara Gelya
For twenty years, Lara Gelya worked in the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan, watching camels survive one of the harshest landscapes on Earth. They carried everything they needed within them. When she escaped the Soviet Union with nothing but two suitcases and hope, she became that camel—carrying her own strength across continents. This is her story.
This is more than an immigration story. It is the story of two lives lived by one woman. Camel from Kyzylkum tells both with honesty, resilience, and quiet strength—qualities that Publishers Weekly, Literary Titan, and Bookshelfie have recognized as something truly rare.
More than a memoir, Camel from Kyzylkum is a cinematic, soul-baring, continent-spanning journey of courage, sacrifice, and hope.
This award-winning nonfiction memoir, told in the first person, traces the author's childhood in Ukraine and her twenty years living and working in the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan, when both republics were part of the Soviet Union. It offers a rare glimpse into a world few Western readers have experienced.
Leaving the Soviet Union in search of freedom was a heartbreaking decision. Stripped of her citizenship and rendered stateless, Lara embarked on an uncertain journey through Austria and Italy before arriving at New York's JFK Airport with two suitcases, no money, and an unwavering belief that a better life was possible.
Arriving in the United States was not the end of her journey—it was the beginning of a new chapter. Learning English as an adult, rebuilding her life from the ground up, working a series of demanding jobs before establishing a successful professional career, and ultimately finding the courage to write this memoir became part of the same remarkable journey.
At its heart, Camel from Kyzylkum asks a universal question: What does it mean to begin again in a new country with nothing but hope and two suitcases?
