What does it take to walk away from the patterns that shaped you? In From Error to Error, Monika Killeen delivers an intimate, unapologetically honest account of one woman’s journey from a childhood overshadowed by fear — to a life defined by self-determination.

The narrator’s earliest memories are of survival — tiptoeing around the edges of a home where tension was as constant as the ticking of the old clock on the wall. Determined to live by her own rules, she flees the paddock one night and sets out to find a place she could call a home. From navigating the bohemian chaos of 1990s Prague, to living on the edge of reason in London, to carving out a place in the close-knit community of a remote New Zealand island, the novel traces her evolution.

We traverse the terrain with a young woman seeking escape, to find a more mature voice reflecting on the cost of freedom, the complexities of motherhood, and the delicate balance between independence and connection. Along the way, Killeen gives us vivid portraits of female friendships and their permutations — from the philosophical sparring with Veronika in smoke-filled cafés to the quiet understanding with Constance, a fellow outsider.

More than a memoir in fictional form, From Error to Error Back is a manifesto for women determined to break encoded cycles, to claim joy on their own terms, and to resist being defined by the past. Killeen’s narrator is not fearless — but she is brave enough to act in spite of her fear.

“I wanted to tell a story that doesn’t shy away from the messiness of becoming your own person,” says Killeen. “It’s not a straight line — it’s a loop, a zigzag, like the sound of a snore of an eighty-year old lady, a journey made of wrong turns and unexpected arrivals.”

With its blend of sharp observation, emotional candour, and moments of wry humour, From Error to Error is both a deeply personal story and a universal one. It is for anyone who has ever had to walk away to find their way home.
