Where the Edge Is by Gráinne Murphy

 

Fate throws lives into a turmoil in the form of a bus accident, and while the rescue attempts are on, it also becomes a moment for introspection and reflection for the characters, who are all battling their own inner demons. The accident in a way becomes symbolic, as the same as the bus that has fallen into the crevice, trapping these folks with little to no hope for escape from doom, so does each character revel in their miseries seeing no light in their lives from anywhere. Nina's character is meticulously crafted, taking us through her inner struggles, while we also follow the edge-of-the seat drama unfolding in the accident scene. I absolutely loved the narration and the articulation, and this made a fabulous read. I am grateful to Murphy and the publishers, Legend Press, for having gifted me with a copy of this book.
