Some places seep into the soul. For Monika Killeen's protagonist in From Error to Error , the beach where tides bear whispers of previous generations' sorrow, the "Weeping sands", is not just a metaphor but are a reminder of the fleeting nature of belonging.

The novel takes readers across generations, unraveling the history of inherited trauma and resilience. From an early life dominated by an explosive father to a life as an adult spent wandering to find identity on other continents, the story examines how memory refuses to remain buried. Instead, it surfaces, sometimes in the quiet of waves, sometimes in the laughter of a child, sometimes on the face of a lover who does not linger.

Killeen's writing is poetic and incisive, not giving readers a childlike neat ending but a layered mosaic of lived truth. Her characters struggle with shame, exile and loss with the quiet determination to build meaning out of fragments.

What makes this book unforgeable is not only its investigative precision of complex family legacies, but that it is deeply human. It poses questions which many are too afraid to ask: How do we forgive those who hurt us? Can we find belonging when home itself is broken? And what happens to us when memory is the only thing that holds fast?

With its powerful writing, the book becomes a reflection for anyone who has ever stood barefoot on a beach, with a handful of sand slipping through their fingers, representing both loss and possibility in equal balance.
