A captivating and promising literary piece, Edge of Me by Monika Killeen presents a window into a thought-provoking and emotionally charged world that explores the intricacies of identity and the delicate dance between strength and vulnerability.
Written against the background of the mundane and routine events that shape our lives, Edge of Me presents a world that revolves around Myrtle, a psychotherapist and a woman grappling with the persistent internal tension that shapes her inner world.
Written in a unique voice that is both grounded in reality and infused with a sense of mysticism and otherworldliness, Edge of Me explores what it means to live in a world filled with unseen and often untouchable forces that shape our thoughts and behaviors.
At the heart of Edge of Me is a world that revolves around a concept called “baseline”, an emotional undertone that Myrtle tries to grasp and control as she navigates her day to day.
The writing style is beautiful and engaging. Killeen’s use of layers of storytelling allows the reader a unique glimpse into the dynamic and ever-changing world of the human mind. The inclusion of the omniscient narrator creates an enigmatic field for the reader to enter at their own risk. The journey is through the untidy, recalcitrant mind of Myrtle, with a combination of tenderness and disturbing insight. Beyond the unique storytelling style of the book, the reader is drawn into the world of this one woman’s story because of the universal themes and ideas that it explores. Motherhood beyond simplification, marriage with all its nooks and crannies and the unspoken conflicts of the mundane day to day are all touched by the witches’ wand.
The relationship between Myrtle and her husband, her children and her patients, represent the universal struggles we all face, to connect with others and find meaning in the world. Killeen writes with honesty and insight. Her knowledge of the human mind and the world of psychology is evident but not forced, represented in a unique and intriguing way.
Edge of Me is not just a story. It is an experience that encourages readers to confront their own inner landscapes. It asks difficult questions about identity, purpose and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives.
