On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers—the ship’s captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog—along with the ship’s crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two and leaving those onboard adrift on the perilous sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the castaways awoke the next morning, they discovered they had been washed ashore—on an island inhabited by a large but ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans. Hans appeared to have been there for a while and could quickly educate the Walkers and their crew on the island’s resources. But Hans had a secret... and as the Walker family gradually came to learn more, what seemed like a stroke of luck to have the mysterious man’s assistance became something ominous, something darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike David Grann and Stacy Schiff, Matthew Pearl unveils one of the most incredible yet little-known historical true stories, and the only known instance in history of an actual family of castaways. \u003cem\u003eSave Our Souls\u003c\/em\u003e asks us to consider who we might become if we found ourselves trapped on a deserted island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47306930913516,"sku":"9780063338074","price":51.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d12f3a7fb5c0c0ef0a0e63c5251cfd7e.jpg?v=1771209894","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/save-our-souls-by-matthew-pearl-9780063338074","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
