Walking Through Fire

Lying critically wounded in a hospital, Sean Varma tries desperately to decipher how he has come to be there. Still, his trauma prevents clarity and pushes him instead to recollect his fragmented life. A child of grandparents from four different cultures, Spanish, Irish, English and Indian, he survives an abusive childhood and goes on to experience Calcutta at war with itself. The best years of his childhood were spent dealing with a violent, alcoholic and womanising father who couldn’t keep a job. Left to fend for himself on his own, Sean has to come to terms with the person he has become. His journey takes him across the subcontinent to the apocalyptic moment that will change him forever, helping him make peace with his life.
