Rezension zu „Fault Lines “
"* 'Spanning four generations, this ambitious, tightly crafted novel combines the psychological tension of a thriller with sweeping literary brilliance. It's a book that demands a comfortable sofa and a decent bar of chocolate. Savour it: you'll regret it if you don't.' - Sydney Morning Herald * 'Nancy Huston is a brilliant, lyrical, unforgettable writer.' - Janette Turner Hospital * 'Masterful; the language is direct and arresting; the story is engaging to the end. It's both a very human story and a novel of ideas, and it's challenging on both levels.' - Globe and Mail"
