English term

on the other side of costly

English to Italian Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Her daughter had aplastic anemia, which essentially meant her heart was too big. The operations were on the other side of costly, and time was ticking. Not to mention, without boxing, she still needed to cover rent. A two-year suspension meant Holly had to make the money some other way.

significa semplicemente "costoso"? forse c'è una sfumatura che non sto cogliendo.
grazie!!
