“Reviewed By Keyla Damaer for Readers’ Favorite
To the Left of Death by Susan Quilty follows Megan, an elementary school teacher. In the aftermath of a profound trauma, her life is shattered after witnessing the murder of the father of one of her students. While details escape her, foggy memories of that day haunt her day and night. The story captures the all-consuming nature of survivor’s guilt and grief as the main character struggles through sleepless nights spent drinking bourbon to numb the pain and guilt. In her desperation, she draws the portraits of the man who died in her arms and her sister, who died of cancer years earlier. Her compulsion to capture on paper the faces of those she lost becomes a source of comfort, and hope emerges when she joins an art studio, rediscovering her teenage passion for art.
In this first-person novel, Susan Quilty explores heavy themes such as creativity’s healing powers from trauma, the cruel reality of mortality, and the human capacity for adapting to unimaginable circumstances. Due to the evocative prose and masterful use of the first-person point of view, the story is an emotional voyage into the human mind. Megan’s cathartic journey to piece herself back together through art is beautifully rendered. To the Left of Death avoids easy answers or neat resolutions about loss, the healing necessary to maintain sanity, and PTSD. It is an introspective portrait of confronting grief’s harsh truths and finding comfort in apparently unexpected places. This is a perfect read for fans of character-driven stories that ponder life’s deepest questions.”
