Synopsis
– 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.
Why readers are calling it “a quiet masterpiece”...
- “Gripping, tender, and devastating” – early review
- “Reminded me of *The Road to Corbie* – but more urgent”
- “A parable of conscience that will stay with you long after the last page”
Perfect for fans of:
Graham Swift (*Waterland*), David Peace (*GB84*), Jon McGregor (*Reservoir 13*), and Pat Barker (*Union Street*)
From the author of *I Am Harry* and *White Cat*

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Set against the turmoil of the 1984/85 UK Miners' Strike, Fault Lines is a quietly devastating novel of love, betrayal, and impossible choices. Betty, a young union office worker from a mining family, shares a single, electrifying kiss with her boss-Peter-on a winter evening. The next day he vanishes. When she discovers he was an undercover Coal Board spy, her world fractures. As the strike intensifies, Betty volunteers for a flying picket bus heading south, determined to prove her loyalty. Instead she is trapped by a police operation that becomes a personal nightmare. Peter, now exposed and living in London, cannot forget her. As both are drawn inexorably toward the violent showdown that became known as the Battle of Orgreave, they must confront the fault lines in their own hearts and the forces that threaten to tear them apart. The final chapters-Betty's assault on the Inspector, her flight, Orgreave, the poignant postscript-accumulate profound emotional weight.With restrained, morally insightful prose, Simon Cole tells a story that transcends its historical setting to ask enduring questions about loyalty, love, and the impossible choices that political conflict forces upon ordinary lives.How do we live with betrayal What does loyalty demand Can a single moment of connection contain a lifetime.
