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?
