A best seller in France, with over 400,000 copies sold, and currently being translated into eighteen languages, Fault Lines is the new novel from internationally-acclaimed and best-selling author Nancy Huston. Huston's novel is a profound and poetic story that traces four generations of a single family from present-day California to WW II¨Cera Germany. Fault Lines begins with Sol, a gifted, terrifying child whose mother believes he is destined for greatness partly because he has a birthmark like his dad, his grandmother, and his great-grandmother. When Sol's family makes an unexpected trip to Germany, secrets begin to emerge about their history during World War II. It seems birthmarks are not all that's been passed down through the bloodlines. Closely observed, lyrically told, and epic in scope, Fault Lines is a touching, fearless, and unusual novel about four generations of children and their parents. The story moves from the West Coast of the United States to the East, from Haifa to Toronto to Munich, as secrets unwind back through time until a devastating truth about the family's origins is reached. Huston tells a riveting, vigorous tale in which love, music, and faith rage against the shape of evil.

用户评价

叙事手法很特别：儿童视角（共四代）+倒叙。不过其中儿童视角值得仔细斟酌，毕竟成人作家以儿童视角写作太容易出问题。此外，书中所述内容和“原生家庭”一概念不谋而合。

这本书有意思的地方是叙述结构还有主题。文笔一般。关于美国，加拿大，德国，历史的故事。叙述手法很创新，写了四代人的故事，从2004年倒叙写到1944年。主题是40年时德国人从东欧偷孩子，为补偿二战时的高死亡人口数。
