Description

Fireproof is a novel that explores the darkest aspects of human nature, set against the backdrop of a devastating event in Indian history.

The story begins with a tragic incident in February 2002, where more than 100 Muslim men, women and children are killed in a wave of religious violence. But it's what happens next that sets the novel on a path of discovery and redemption.

Through the eyes of its narrator, Jay, we witness a journey of self-discovery and the power of individual conscience in the face of collective evil. With evocative prose, Raj Kamal Jha challenges us to confront the complexities of human nature and the ordinary nature of extraordinary events.
