The Edge of Limits by Susanne Gervay

The Edge of Limits by Susanne Gervay

The Edge of Limits has the high stakes of The Hunger Games and the wild risks of the wilderness.
It is an authentic journey into young adult culture giving insight for both guys, but also girls. It is an emotional, funny, perilous and defining journey. It’s eight rugged days on a school trek into the wilderness. There are no showers, sleeping on rocks, hard trekking, abseiling, climbing, wild rivers, wilderness … and there are flies, thousands of them and the freezing nights and sweat days. There are scenes of exhaustion as the boys collapse after the ledge climb. Hilarious scenes at the leech invasion. Great mateship. Great betrayals. Eight days descending into fear, exhaustion, ravine and rivers, heading for the final place of initiation.

As the narrator Sam deals with the death of his his grandfather, he seeks the purpose of life. There is ‘heroic’ Jones, Fat George, weedy Spano, sex obsessed Andrew, lead-foot Con, shell shocked Bennie, evil Watts, the rigid teacher Seaten, spunky instructor Sarah and … girls. It’s about girls – getting them, discarding them, wanting them where consent us subjective or coercive or real love or distorted through the peer group pressure of the Rave Party, and the rape.

The Edge of Limits explores sexuality, mateship, the wisdom of the grandfather, leadership, humour and the way boys speak or don’t speak. Ultimately, as the camp winds deep into the mountains, it goes to the heart of consent. It challenges them with hard choices of courage.
