On the Edge: Three Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781801352031)

On the Edge by Feyza Altun is a bold, postmodern exploration of generational trauma and the fragile boundaries between love and destruction. Told through interwoven stories spanning decades, the novel confronts the darkest corners of family life-where silence breeds violence and survival demands impossible choices. With piercing honesty and psychological depth, Altun challenges readers to question the roots of evil and the cost of breaking free from inherited pain.

Perfect for readers of contemporary literary fiction who seek narratives that are fearless, unsettling, and profoundly human.

Three generations. Three women. One unbroken chain of pain.

On the Edge is a raw, unflinching journey through lives scarred by betrayal, violence, and longing. From a childhood shattered in the shadows of family secrets to adulthood consumed by toxic love and relentless cycles of abuse, this novel exposes the truths we hide behind closed doors. Inspired by real events, Feyza Altun weaves a haunting narrative of survival, revenge, and the desperate search for freedom.

What happens when the past refuses to stay buried? When the wounds of yesterday bleed into today?
This is not just a story-it's a reckoning.

Her adult self had taken revenge for her childhood. While her soul somersaulted in the air, her childhood self watched her from a corner of the room. It was her seven-year-old, always-reading-a-book self facing her. She was watching what was happening, slightly anxious, slightly scared, but greatly relieved.
"You don't need to be afraid anymore," she said, looking at her childhood self in the corner.
"It's over now."
