to the Swedish lakeside cottage where  more than two decades before  an unspeakable accident

boys they were  for the innocence they lost. Brilliant  haunting and unforgettable. —Fredrik
Backman  author of A Man Called OveThere is Nils  the oldest  who couldn't escape his
suffocating home soon enough  and Pierre  the youngest  easily bullied and quick to lash out.
And then there is Benjamin  always the family's nerve center  perpetually on the lookout for
triggers and trap doors in a volatile home where the children were left to fend for themselves
competing for their father's favor and their mother's elusive love.But as the years have
unfolded  Benjamin has grown increasingly untethered from reality  frozen in place while life
carries on around him. And among the brothers a dangerous current now vibrates. What really
happened that summer day when everything was blown to pieces?In a thrillingly fast-paced
narrative  The Survivors mixes the emotional acuity of Edward St. Aubyn  the literary verve of
Ian McEwan  and the heart of Shuggie Bain. By brilliantly dissecting a mind unravelling in the
wake of tragedy  Alex Schulman reveals the ways in which our deepest loyalties leave us open to
the greatest betrayals.
