  • "Roman über den sechsjährigen Sol und seine Urgrossmutter. In dieser Genealogie gibt es ein unentdecktes Geheimnis, das ans Licht befördert werden soll."
  • "A trip to Germany reveals unexpected historical family secrets for a boy and his family."
  • "A family trip to Munich, Germany, begins a journey into the dark secret that connects a birthmark found on Sol, a gifted six-year-old boy, to the horrors of World War II in Europe."
  • "Op het eerste oog vertonen ze geen overeenkomsten: Sol, het jongetje uit het Californië van nu, Randall, kind van ouders die thuis het Midden-Oostenconflict uitvechten, Sadie, de dochter van hippie-ouders, en Kristina, het Duitse meisje uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Maar door hun aderen stroomt hetzelfde bloed. Vanuit het kinderlijke perspectief van een zesjarige wordt de geschiedenis van een familie verteld. Gezeefd door het kinderbrein komen de twintigste en eenentwintigste eeuw aan bod: de oorlog in Irak, Palestijnse vluchtelingenkampen, de Cubacrisis, de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de Lebensborn-beweging, die vele duizenden kinderen roofde om ze door nazigezinnen te laten adopteren. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
  • "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."

  • "Een moedervlek die erfelijk bepaald is, vormt vier generaties lang de levens van de dragers."
  • "Winner of the Prix Femina, 2006. Sol is a gifted but also terrifying six-year-old; his mother believes he is destined for greatness. He has a birthmark, like his dad, his grandmother and great-grandmother. But when they all make an unexpected trip to Germany, terrible secrets emerge about their family's story during World War II."@en
  • "Un demi-siècle d'histoire, de San Francisco à Munich, de Haïfa à Toronto et New York, à travers le regard et le vécu de Sol, Randall, Sadie et Kristina, des enfants de 6 ans dont chacun est le parent du précédent. Une marche à rebours dans le monde actuel, sa barbarie et sa violence."
  • "Traces four generations of a single family."@en
  • ""Sol is a very special six year old. He learned to read in the cot and his mum believes he is destined for greatness. His only imperfection is the large birthmark on his temple. His Dad has one too. So does his Grandma. Sol's mum decides to have his birthmark removed, but, is this the right thing to do? A family trip to Germany to visit a dying relative uncovers a family secret about the Second World War which is more shocking than any of them could have imagined. It seems that birthmarks are not the only things that have been passed down the generations ... A tale of four generations of one family, each told from the perspective of a six year old, Fault Lines is a funny, touching novel which examines how the decisions and upheavals of one generation can impact upon the lives of the next."--Provided by publisher."@en
