Abstract

The life of the children belonging to the families caught in the web of self-exploration, nostalgia, the audacity of modernity, etc. is adversely influenced. In this paper, Nancy Huston’s Fault Lines is explored to study these aspects substantiating the aforementioned repercussions there upon in general the family, and specifically the children. It is analyzed through this study how the life of the individual is reduced to a distorted- self, because of the unfulfilled desires and untapped emotions.
