The Survivors
The Survivors: The new book from the Ngaio Marsh Award winning author of the bestselling MISSING PERSONS and THE SCENE OF THE CRIME | Steve Braunias
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
True stories of death and desperation One survivor chooses loneliness. One chooses exile. One chooses oblivion. Some have violent tendencies, ruining lives indiscriminately. Some seal their own fate in slow motion; others do so in the blink of an eye. In The Survivors, award-winning true-crime writer Steve Braunias retells twelve mysteries of human nature - unusual stories of how people choose to survive their own lives, and their decisions, desires, impulses... and failings.

A sad but interesting collection of real crime stories from New Zealand. Braunias takes an interesting approach to storytelling here, thinking about what these stories tell us about what it takes to survive your life. This has the effect of being sometimes uncomfortably humanising, at others, relentlessly bleak, and at others again hopeful. It‘s a gritty picture of New Zealand society, one which it would be easy to look away from.
