About the Book
When too-nice Austen, and too-much-trouble Rand both end up on the island for the summer, it's a good chance to find out whether opposites really do attract.
Book Synopsis
Giving up her pony didn't make Austen's sister better. Sacrificing her social life hasn't done it either. But with her sister's life at stake, Austen's never good at saying no. So, when their mom decides a move to the island is just what Eliot needs, Austen says good-bye to her perfect summer plans.
Rand's not on the island by choice, either. After drinking, driving, and crashing his neighbour's car, he's been sent to live with his uncle until a spot opens up for him at boarding school.
If too-nice Austen, and too-much-trouble Rand are opposites maybe that's why they're so attracted to each other.
Review Quotes
" Really enjoyed this book! There is something magical about the island and the summer setting that makes me wish I was really there. This story plays to Tudor's strengths as an author - compassionate, complex characters and a setting you just want to step into and become a part of. This is possibly my favourite of her novels so far!" - Kate Lattey, author of the Pony Jumpers series
"Another great horse read from author Tudor Robins! "Faults" takes you deep into the world of horses and horsemanship, among charismatic characters, engaging scenarios, and ... horses! Robins' passion for horses shines as she delivers another fantastic read. Recommended reading for everyone." - Gina McKnight, Riding & Writing, gmcknight.com
"Tudor Robins has done it again! Fault is superbly written with flowing prose and a gripping storyline. I adored the characterisation of Austen - I know many young carers' who put their lives on hold to help look after a sick relative, and they do so with the same courageous attitude and understanding as Austen does. They really are all heroes, and it was wonderful to read a young career portrayed in such a positive light. Thank you, Tudor. Likewise, Rand is a lost soul who thinks the world hates him. On the island, he learns that there are some people who will stand up for him no matter what that means for them. His faith in humanity is slowly restored." - Mary Anne Yarde, author of the Du Lac Chronicles
