"Book two is finished. Book one's theme was - freedom and confinement are not always antitheses. And in book two, the author plays with the theme of time and relevance. Life goes on, titles and fame get insignificant... Book two got more momentum, loving the journey with Count Rostov's." — Mar 22, 2026 11:47AM

Anjum’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Lost Heart of Asia: A Journey Through Post-Soviet Central Asia—Uncovering Hidden History and Ancient Secrets

The Lost Heart of Asia: A Journey Through Post-Soviet Central Asia—Uncovering Hidden History and Ancient Secrets by Colin Thubron

8 highlights
