Fire Born
by Vijay Sohoni
“Who told you I bought a piece of land and property? I bought back the memories of my ancestors!”
Two and a half thousand years ago on the Konkan coast, a shipwrecked Som is rescued and brought back to life through an ordeal by fire. He tries to find a new life under the guidance of Guru Parshuram….
As India fights for its independence, an orphaned descendant of Som fights for his right to education. His struggle leads him from a non-descript village in Konkan to the historical city of Nashik. Will he be successful in his endeavour?
His globetrotting grandson chances upon an ancient clue to his ancestry. He follows in the footsteps of Som in search of the truth. Where will it lead him?

First, let me say – do not be daunted by the size of this book, it’s completely worth it! I want to say I was a little thrown off by how far back in history it starts – honestly, I thought it would be starting a little closer to the 20th century. Once I got over my initial shock, I became so caught up in the story, that I was quite a way in before I came up for air. If you enjoy historical fiction sagas, you are absolutely going to fall in love with this book. Sohoni has a wonderfully unique way of bringing the story to life. Cannot recommend this enough!
