Description

The Year of Facing Fire by South African-born Helena Kriel is a deeply moving memoir that weaves together personal tragedy and transformative journeys. Commissioned to write the screenplay for Kama Sutra, Kriel travels to India for research, seeking to understand love through ancient teachings. However, back home, her beloved brother Evan is diagnosed with AIDS, and it’s through the fight to keep him alive that she truly grasps the complexities of love and loss.

This beautifully written memoir introduces a dynamic South African family—Maja, the strong-willed mother; Lexi, the sister living in an Indian temple; Ross, the adventurous brother unaware of Evan’s condition; and at the heart, Evan himself, whose insightfulness shines even as he faces death. As Helena grapples with the illusion of control, her journey becomes one of profound self-discovery.
