The study focuses on the narrative development, thematic layers, and symbolic aspects of the novel. By analyzing the storyline through the IMRAD framework, the paper highlights how the author portrays the struggles of ordinary people, the moral dilemmas of individuals, and the broader social contradictions of Soviet-era Uzbekistan. The central character, Zaynab bibi, is presented as a symbolic figure of patience and resilience, reflecting the collective experience of the nation.
