"Faultless"

I know this isn't the correct way to use this word -- but I enjoyed this book so much I wanted to flip back to the first page and read it all over again.

At first I wasn't really too sure about this one...I started reading it, and after just having put down "Forever Lily" because of the whole "I'm in tune with everything" attitude, I was scared when Sol was talking about how great he was and that he knew he had a purpose. But it QUICKLY got better, and just when I was getting interested in Sol, the view changed to that of his father (Randall) when he was the same age as Sol, then switched to Randall's mother (Sadie) and finally Kristina/Erra.

I almost put this book down after reading the first few pages. Sol seemed more like a 40-year-old pervert than a six-year-old boy. But, thanks to Goodreads, I kept reading as many of the reviews encouraged. The three other characters - Randall, Sadie, and Kristina - were much more believable as six-year-old children. I could see the connectedness between them and how (as you went back in time) their childhoods had been affected by their parent's childhood. A brilliant idea. My big problems with...more

Contente de découvrir enfin Nancy Huston. Roman à quatre voix dont chaque partie est racontée par un enfant de six ans appartenant à la génération antérieure à l'enfant qui le précède au sein d'une même famille (si vous voyez ce que je veux dire). On commence donc dans les années 2000 pour finir dans les années 40 et au fur et à mesure qu'on remonte dans le temps on comprend ce qu'on a lu au début.

This is a beautiful story, and the method of telling is really interesting.

The reason I only gave it three stars is that each chapter is told from the POV of a 6 yr old. And, I just didn't buy it. The language was wrong for a 6 year old, and I felt that a lot of the feelings were wrong for a 6 year old. Had she made the characters 9 years old, I could have felt more comfortable with it. It just really prevented me from completely buying in to the thoughts and feelings as being honest and true.

A story told backwards by four children of the same family, same age, but different generations that span the globe.

Our story begins in 2004 where we are introduced to Sol. This kid was creepy. He is obsessed with the Iraq war and the internet. I found his narration unbelievable and uncomfortable for a 6 year old but then again, he is beyond his years. I did feel some sympathy for him as his family felt he was destined for greatness and he lived with this constant pressure. His father is Randall...more

Ok. Would rather had the book discuss the last chapter, rather than adding the other three. Review sounds better than the book......

Huston's novel is a profound and poetic story that traces four generations of a single family from present-day California to WW II era 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.

Yet another aspect of WWII I did not know about until now; the theft of Aryan-looking children from neighboring countries to be lebensborn or "fountains of life". Crazy stuff.
The book itself was okay. It seemed to emphasize more on parent-child relationship than anything else. It just showed each child from each generation at the age of six.

Within just a few pages, I was thinking I was really going to like it, then immediately thinking that I was going to hate it. In the end I ended up really liking it, and liking it better and better as I read.

The book is divided into four chapters, each one narrated by the voice of a different family member, and in this way the story spans four generations.

The first chapter is narrated by Sol, six years old, in 2004. This was the part that was most difficult to read. Sol is pampered by his stay-at-home mother Tessa, and thinks himself to be a genius, destined for great things like turning into an omnipotent god. At first he really does come across as extraordinary. He seems to know a whole lot that other six-year-olds wouldn't normally know and some of the things he said had me chuckling. For example, he is a picky eater, and may eat white bread with mayonnaise if supper doesn't appeal to him, but then he says, "God gave me this body and mind and I have to take the best possible care of them so I can put them to the best possible use. I know He's got high intentions for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been born in the wealthiest state of the wealthiest country in the world, with the most powerful weapons system capable of blasting the whole human species to kingdom come." Up until now, you could think that he is just regurgitating things he has heard adults say. But then he goes on, "Fortunately God and President Bush are buddies. I think of heaven as one big Texas in the sky, with God rambling around like a cowboy hat and boots and checking to make sure everything's in order on his ranch. Taking an occasional pot shot at a planet for the fun of it." Kudos to nancy Huston for the Texas in the sky bit! Great alliteration and what an image!

Another one of Sol's comments that made an impression on me was when he was saying that eventually his parents would have another child, and that that was okay, he wouldn't be jealous because "no matter how many kids they have I'm not worried about sibling rivalry, Jesus had a whole slew of brothers, too, and you never hear about what they did with their lives, there's just no comparison." On the one hand, Sol definitely has high expectations. On the other hand, though, he is very arrogant, but what else would you expect a spoiled only child to be?

What really put me off Sol is the vulgar way that he talked and the things he described having seen on the Internet, when he snuck on his mother's computer to google things. He describes what the US soldiers did to their prisoners, scenes of war where there are only mismatched body parts lying around on the ground, and explicit scenes on adult web sites where women are having sex with animals. One could think that he relates these things so impassively because as a six-year-old he cannot process them and therefor keeps himself at a distance, only reporting, not feeling, but at one point he comes right out and says that he loves gore. So this part of the book kind of scares me, thinking about kids today.

But I digress. Sol is narrating a small part of his life, in which we are introduced to his parents, Tessa and Randall, to his grandmother Sadie and his great-grandmother Erra (both on his father's side). Tessa never went to college, and is a stay-at-home mom who pours all her energies into raising Sol to his full potential. She taught him to read as a baby and has been nurturing his mind ever since. Randall works at a company that is contributing research and development to a project to create unfeeling robot soldiers. Sadie, Randall's mother, is a writer who researched and wrote about the Holocaust, and she is appalled when she finds out what Randall is working on. "The perfect Nazi, you are describing. " Sadie is actually on a quest to find out about her own family. She hasn't spoken to her mother in 14 years because of some dispute that will only be revealed later, in the chapter she (Sadie) narrates. Her research will take her to Germany and she decides to take the whole family along, including great-grandmother Erra, who nobody expects to come along, but she agrees right away, leading to another surprise. It turns out Erra wants to go to Germany to find a doll from her childhood. This, also, is explained at the end of the book.

The story unfolds very nicely, being narrated in reverse chronological order from 2004, to 1982, 1962 and finally 1944-45. Once we get past Sol's unnerving narration, the other voices are very human and a pleasure to read, despite all the difficult things each generation deals with. An interesting detail about the book is that, while the reader gets the full story, there are things that the different generations don't communicate to one another. In the end, I don't think Erra ever truly explains her childhood to her family, which is what causes a rift between her and Sadie. Sadie finds out bits and pieces by doing her research in Munich and Haifa, but she doesn't get the full story, only what facts she can find in record archives. The part of the story where Randall moves to haifa for a year as a child seemed very vivid to me, having visited the city once myself. I actually remember a school with a long staircase down from the sidewalk, so the things Randall describes are very real to me. The story is a very good one and I won't reveal all the details, but I do encourage readers to find this book at their local library or bookstore. I highly recommend it.(less)

This is a book that confronts taboo subjects head on...all the meanwhile breaking into the readers comfort zone. If this is what the author was trying to accomplish, then it did so in the first five pages. The book not only takes you out of your comfort zone, it challenges what you believe in, societal schemes, childhood and the basic idea of the innocence of a child.

The novel is told from four different viewpoints, different family members in their history when they were 6 year old. Sol (2004) is a child that is not only is brilliant, he is terrifyingly aware of the world. His soul and his childhood have been corrupted by the media, the news, the internet, sex and the war. He has a God complex and truly believes he is God, that sun rises because of him. The mere psyche of this child is corrupted beyond repair. He watches and enjoys scenes of death, rape, sex, mutilation, war, etc. This is a boy that assumes no responsibility for himself save for his misguided, self-serving and narrow view of the world as his stomping ground. This is the hardest par of the book to get through. I almost stopped reading.

Randall (1982) (Sol's father) is a six year old that has learned to live with an absentee mother and a loving father. His mother is obsessed with finding her roots and the truth of her mother's upbringing in Nazi Germany. In time, they move to Israel where she continues her research. There he is confronted with discrimination, war, living in a society that he does not understand and the difficulties of his parent's marriage. Randall is a boy that feels the weight of the world in his shoulders, he feels responsible for what happens and is afraid that he cannot understand what is happening in the world.

Sadie (1962) (Randall's mother) is a six ear old girl that believes she is evil and dirty. She is raised by her grandparents in a rather strict manner. It is understandable why she becomes a perfectionist. She is a girl looking for approval and the love of her mother, who left her in the care of her grandparents when she was a baby. She feels unwanted, and unloved.

Kristina (1944-5) (Sadie's mother) is from Germany and must deal with the realities of the war (WWII), her families and the secrets that are kept from her. This part of the book is not only interesting; it is sad, heartfelt and very good, the only part of the book that interested me. This is quite the beautiful story, especially when to tie it back to earlier stories told in the book.
Frankly, I am rarely fazed by taboo subject or gore (yay zombies) but, this book made me uncomfortable. This book was rather painful to read. It is not a light read by any means. Rather, it is an exploration of all that is corrupt and vile, of abandonment, love, secrets and family. I don't really understand how this became a best seller. I don't mind being taken out of my comfort zone, but at least give me a good reason (aka a good story) to justify it. The last 50 or so pages were not justification enough. But, it is interesting to see how the lives of these 6 year old kids change according to the times, along with their awareness of the world.(less)

A friend recommended the book while she was reading it, so I put it on my list, not having any idea what it was about. I don't read jacket covers or blurbs, so I usually go into books totally blind, to be able to enjoy the journey without any spoilers at all.

This one gave quite a journey. The first part is written by a possibly sociopathic six-year-old, Sol. His sophistication and self-perceived heightened intelligence are believable as maybe part of his mental illness. Through his eyes, we witness the end of the book's story, but we don't know that's what we're seeing. Of course, his story continues on, but we don't get to follow that (which is a bummer, I might have liked to), because we have to follow the changing narrative as the tale is revealed to us backwards.

The next segment is written from the perspective of Sol's father when he was six years old, followed by that boy's mother (Sol's grandmother) when she was six, and finally by her mother (Sol's great-grandmother) when she was six. All the while, the narratives from the different time periods pulled together to illuminate the ending that we saw in Sol's segment, until by the last pages of the book, we have the full picture. It was a neat trick and the author pulled it off well.

As other critics have said, the other six-year-old narratives aren't believable, but that didn't bother me too much. I could forgive the consistent implausible language and astute mature observations made by these kids, because there were much bigger flaws demanding my attention.

Foremost was the bitterness towards women--mothers in particular. Starting with Sol, the mothers were the damaging force in the family. Sol's mother spoiled him mercilessly and this was offered up as perhaps an explanation for his overblown narcissism. The dad was the good guy, trying really hard to make everyone happy and intervene when he had to for the best interests of his son. But, while he was loving and meant well, he was also spineless and soft, at the mercy of the women around him.

His own mother was absent and negligent. She had an obsession with her work and left her child at home alone with his father quite a lot. His father was also loving and hapless, trying to do the best that he could under the circumstances, but the woman just would not compromise her work, finally dragging them all halfway around the world where they would all be miserable and suffer near breakdowns, so she could do research for her thesis.

But, see, she had been damaged by her own mother as well. Abandoned and ignored, always pining for her mother's attention and approval like it was some sort of drug. The only time she experienced any stability and happiness was when her mother married a nice man who took her to the deli every Sunday and gave her the attention and love she craved. But, of course, that didn't last long, because that's the way of this book.

Then we saw the great-grandmother as a six-year-old and all was explained. We saw the root, the cause of this pathology and then it was all supposed to make sense.

So, frankly it was just depressing, the idea that maybe we're all living out accumulated pain from generations back. That our choices in partners and how we parent is all somehow traced back to a tragedy that affected our (or maybe even our husband's!) great-great grandmother. Lives upon lives are just damaged and trying to repair something done a hundred years ago. It's all very sad and hopeless and I don't really like it at all.

The writing was excellent, the stylistic trick of the plot unfolding backwards was done flawlessly, the characters were multi-dimensional and well developed. I just didn't like them or the story they told.(less)

Then I let that go and was able to become absorbed into the stories of Randall, Sadie and Erra.

A backward chronology of an aspect of the holocaust of which I wasn't aware, told by each generation of the family during their sixth year of life. Each six year old has a somewhat naive view of adult things happening around them, save Sol. His chapter (the opening) made me think of him as the poster child for monitoring your child's internet, television and video use. Disturbing as all getout. But not, I'm afraid, far from the truth.

Prizewinning Fault Lines caught on in Europe, while it was discouraged by publishers in the US. Some feared that US readers would not like the six year old Sol, the first of the four 6 year old narrators from one family extending back four generations-- all of whom are barely believable as genius ten year olds much less six year olds. Well, Sol is not very likable, so the publishers got that right. Nevertheless, this book has substance worthy of contemplation and discussion, especially for a bo...more

This was a book I was really torn about. It tells the story of four generations, with each part being narrated by the family member when they were six years old.

Sol was a disgusting perverted sociopath with a severe God complex. I would guess that he is destined to become a serial killer who maims, tortures and rapes his victims before murdering them in the most painful way possible. His story was first, and I almost stopped listening during it.
