    🙋♀️ Hello! My name is Zalina, I was born and grew up in an Uzbek family in Eastern Turkmenistan. I moved to London in 2011 and decided to write this book to cherish the memory of my ancestors that travelled from ancient Khorezm to Turkmenistan in late 19th early 20th century. 

    🍡IMPORTANT: No Alternatives Exist in the West – This book is exclusive to Etsy and is made to order in the United Kingdrom of Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
