In 2016, Heywood Hill celebrated its 80th anniversary. In honour of the occasion, distinguished authors were asked to share the single book - published in English in the last 80 years - that has meant the most to them and to provide a three-word justification for their choice. 

The excellent Colin Thubron chose 'The Road to Oxiana' by Robert Byron:

"A brilliant mosaic"
