Monika Killeen's From Error To Error A Profound Literary Journey Through Memory, Family, And The Fragile Truths Everyone Live By

“From error to error, one discovers the entire truth.” This Sigmund Freud quote opens From Error to Error , the stunning new novel by Monika Killeen, and it sets the tone for a memorable literary journey.

Spanning decades, continents, and emotional landscapes, Killeen's work takes readers deep into the complexities of human relationships, the contradictions in those we love, and the ever-shifting truths we construct from our memories. At its heart is the narrator's unflinching exploration of a life that started under the rule of an emotionally unstable father and the lingering shadows of an early trauma that shape a person's development.

In sharply observed vignettes, the story moves from an old mining-town kitchen encounters with deadly threat, to the intoxicating nightlife of 1990s Prague, to a windswept New Zealand island where the possibility of peace begins to take root. Along the way, the narrator grapples with the legacy of family secrets, the magnetic lure of escape, and the challenge of creating a life defined by choice rather than circumstance.

Killeen's prose is both lyrical and exacting, shifting effortlessly between moments of piercing humour and quiet heartbreak. Her narrator is flawed yet resilient, seeking truth not in grand revelations but in the small, stubborn acts of survival and self-definition.

“Life doesn't hand you clarity on a plate.” says Killeen.“You piece it together from mistakes, missteps, as you go time and again out of the frying pan, into the open fire. From error to error. You need courage to keep moving forward, especially when you don't know where forward is.”

From Error to Error will resonate with readers who appreciate deeply human stories, richly drawn settings, and characters who stay with you long after the final page. It is a testament to the enduring human capacity to transform pain into something meaningful - even beautiful.
