"A lyrical novel of psychological suspense...Powerfully
rendered."
—Wall Street Journal
"An audacious tour de force, The Survivors takes you deep into an
emotional labyrinth. You'll cry for these brothers. For the
men they became, for the boys they were, for the innocence they
lost. Brilliant, haunting and unforgettable."
—Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove
"The Survivors is a tight, tense marvel of emotional and psychic
pain that is as chilling as it is heartbreaking. With precise,
evocative prose it winds and coils towards a remarkable conclusion
that left me breathless."
—Ivy Pochoda, author of Visitation Street and These Women

summer.”
