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. Impressive'
