Unimagined ranked no 11 at Sydney Writers' Festival

 

'The tender humor and intelligence of this memoir belies its political importance; through it, Muslims are humanized.  Imran Ahmad, Pakistan-born and London-raised, writes beautifully of his life … Just beautiful.'

Antonella Gambotto-Burke

 

'I loved the fresh and uninhibited honesty of Imran Ahmad's Unimagined.'

Bruce Elder

 

'In Unimagined, Imran Ahmad writes with warmth, humour and insight about the challenges and joys of growing up nerdy, dreamy and Muslim in Britain.'

Emily Maguire

 

'I consumed Unimagined as soon as I started it.  I couldn't wait until the plane ride.  It was an absolute joy to read.  I loved every moment of it ...'

Randa Abdel-Fattah

 

'... a fascinating insight ...'

The Sydney Morning Herald

 

'... an amusing and highly accessible book which deals with a range of theological and cross-cultural issues ...'

The Canberra Times
