Fault Lines by Nancy Huston
"Fault Lines" is a novel that delves into the complex layers of family history and the impact of past traumas on the present. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of four different children from successive generations of the same family, each chapter moving back in time to reveal the secrets and challenges faced by their ancestors. The story explores themes of identity, memory, and the inherited nature of suffering, as the protagonists grapple with the legacies of war, displacement, and personal tragedy that ripple through their lineage. The novel's unique structure and poignant storytelling invite readers to reflect on how the fault lines of history can shape individual lives and relationships across generations.
