Edge of Me

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.
