Publisher's Summary
I Survived is Victoria Cilliers' chilling, eye-opening story of marriage and attempted murder, revealing the truth about a case that made headlines around the world. Now the subject of a major Channel 4 documentary The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot.
On Easter Sunday 2015, experienced skydiver Victoria Cilliers undertook a parachute jump, a gift from her husband, British army sergeant Emile Cilliers. Her parachutes failed to open and she plummeted 4,000 feet to the ground, sustaining life-threatening injuries. Miraculously, she survived. Then the police arrived at her door. Someone had tampered with her parachute and they suspected Emile.
In I Survived Victoria describes how she fell for Emile, and how the charming man she thought she knew gradually revealed a darker side, chipping away at her self-worth until she found it impossible to sift truth from lies. Can she really believe that her husband – the father of their two young children – tried to kill her? As more shocking revelations come to light, and she has to face his trial and relentless media scrutiny, she struggles to come to terms with the past. Even a guilty verdict does not free her because Emile is not ready to let her go . . .
Powerful and honest, this is the story of a woman who was put through hell and yet found the strength to forge a new life for herself and her children.

Great story. Average narration.
I really enjoyed the story, absolutely riveting ordeal. But I almost gave up a few times because the narrator had such a monotonous tone. Sometimes I thought it was Siri from Apple iPhone because it sounded so robotic.

Wonderfully written and honest
Congratulations on writing a wonderful book, about a very difficult part of your life. I could not stop listening to it. Very well written and read. Thanks for your honestly (which I’m quite sure would have been extremely difficult to write for all to see).

powerful
I had a bit of a cry at the end of this book as it was such a powerful story. It was written in such a powerful manner with the ultimate story being about her story her truth her strength and her power within herself.
I really appreciate her sharing her story it was lovely to listen to!

Amazing bravery and courage
Brave and courageous. Thank you for sharing your story. You deserve all the happiness in the world. Hope your Dad is well, he was an inspiration and it would have been very difficult for him to have with all of the trauma you went through.

A little frustrating for me I'm afraid.
I found myself so frustrated with her for being quite naive and head in the sand. I completely understand the concept of being manipulated and gaslighting, but she really never seemed to fully accept that he was such a bad person. Even in earlier relationships she seemed to just accept things they did to her without reacting. Probably being harsh as I know it's always clearer to those outside the situation.
OK but not the best read.
