A Lyrical Narrative of the Human Spirit!
3 July 2012
By Beth H.
- Published on Amazon.com
Stephen Faulds narrates Ian's fall from grace and Maureen's descent into mental illness in a lyrical style reminiscent of Australian writer Tim Winton. In Ian's Story, the reader finds a man who is troubled by life, who attempts to find solace in his writing, reading, spirituality, his best friend, and the woman he describes as his "soul mate." Told from many points of view, the characters are humanly flawed, with raw emotions and tragic failings clearly depicted. As in Landscape, Faulds has a knack of getting to the core of his characters' motivations and desires and paints a portrait of each one into the mind of the reader. Faulds is more than a writer; he is an artist as well, using the backdrops of the environment to illustrate the actions of his characters.

Ian's Story - A modern day Crime and Punishment

Ian is a good man who strives to do the right thing - by his clinically depressed wife, by the troubled kids he works with and by the friends he loves too much - but no-one is perfect. Like Rashkolnikov in Dostoyevsky's famous novel, Ian commits a crime and does the time but his punishment goes on. Is forgiveness possible? Trust me, you will not want to put this novel down until you find out. Ian's Story is a must read for anyone interested in what it is that makes us all human. Simply brilliant.
