Monika Killeen is a psychotherapist, a lifelong student
of human nature and the effects on the psyche of life’s
pangs — its search for joy and its trauma. Edge of Me
is her third book — literary non-fiction, weaving in
metaphysics through its narrator – an ancient witch.
Not a story of rescue but a lively meditation on
endurance in a battle with a darker side of oneself
— amid the frantic work of being a parent.
This whip-smart narrative is assured, and always
surprising. Killeen describes the unspoken aspects
of life like no other New Zealand writer.
