From Fire, by Water

History & Biography

“If you're going to write a book about your religious conversion it'd better be a great yarn. And if you're going to write a memoir while you're still in your early thirties you'd better be a great writer. In From Fire, by Water Sohrab Ahmari has both boxes checked.... Ahmari is a precise and evocative writer, which makes From Fire, by Water easy reading and good reading.”
