THE WHITE ROCK - ANNA HOPE KARTONIERT (TB)

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BALLROOM AND EXPECTATION    They are separating  she and her
husband  after two decades together.   This fact is new.   There are many ways of telling the
tale ...   There are many different sides to every story ...   A minibus journeys through rural
Mexico. Inside it are twelve strangers on a pilgrimage to the White Rock  which stands  ancient
and sacred  off the Pacific coast. Like many before them  over centuries and from across
continents  they find themselves irresistibly drawn here  for answers  to give thanks  to seek
protection.  One of them is a writer. She is travelling with her husband and young daughter  as
her faith in her marriage  and the future itself  is foundering. She has come to the White Rock
in the hope of excavating a beginning from the rubble of many different endings.  Here she will
find the echoes of many stories: of conquest and resistance  of betrayal and belief  of the
many different forms of violence and love. Stories that have already unravelled  and stories
that might yet illuminate a passage through these uncertain times ...   'An eco-novel you
actually want to read' The Times   'Its narrative sweep is capacious . . . It has ambition to
match  musing on freedom and reciprocity [and] the redemptive power of storytelling.
