Fault Lines

by Nancy Huston

2006 novel by Nancy Huston

"Sol is a highly gifted but also scarily un-childlike six-year-old whose adoring mother believes he is destined for greatness. He bears the same birthmark as his father, grandmother and great-grandmother before him. When Sol and his family make an unexpected trip to Germany, terrible secrets start to emerge." "Narrated by children in four different generations of the same family, Fault Lines traces their history back through the years, from California to New York, from Haifa to Toronto and Munich. As dormant family secrets are awakened, shock waves reverberate from a hidden past into a fragile present."--Jacket.
