About the book:
A profoundly moving memoir on grief and resilience
In January 2024, in a period of personal crisis, Gideon Haigh abruptly started writing the story of the night his seventeen-year-old brother Jasper was killed, finally facing how it had shaped the rest of his life. Seventy-two hours later he stopped. Dark, raw and revealing, My Brother Jaz is how it feels to lose someone, and yourself, even as the rest of the world turns, and you struggle to keep up.
