Fault Lines: a parable of conscience and power - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

– One kiss. Two sides. No way back –

Turmoil and tragedy in the Miners Strike

A kiss in a frozen car park – Betty, a young union office worker, and Peter, her boss. The next morning, he is gone. Exposed as a Coal Board spy.
Betty volunteers for a flying picket bus heading south. She wants to prove her loyalty. Instead, she is trapped by police, threatened, and hidden in a pub where the red room waits. When she escapes, she runs straight into the chaos of Orgreave – the most violent confrontation of the 1984/85 miners’ strike.

"Fault Lines" is a haunting literary novel about ordinary people crushed by forces they never chose. It is a story of love without time, of a mother’s prayers and a priest’s last confession, a brother locked in a cell and a sister transformed from socialite to campaigner.
