Gideon Haigh is a prolific author, but it took him decades to write down the story closest to his heart — the life and tragic death of his brother, Jaz, who was killed in a car crash at just 17 years. But eventually, on a hot summers evening, it all came pouring out onto the page, and became his book My Brother Jaz.
Gideon Haigh's brother Jasper was 17 years old when he died in a car crash.
Until this year, Gideon and his mother were the only two people who really knew what happened to Jaz on that tragic night.
Gideon has spent decades perfecting answers to questions about his brother — answers that never invited further discussion.
This year, something peculiar happened, and in a few days, Gideon poured his pent-up recollections onto the page, to be turned into a book about the story of his brother, Jaz.
