In 2020, an Englishwoman and her family journey to Mexico to give thanks for the birth of her child. In 1969, a singer washes up in a hotel at the edge of Mexico, hoping to find himself. In the first years of the Twentieth Century, a girl and her sister are torn from their homeland and taken by force to the coast. And in 1775, a young Lieutenant of the Spanish line, preparing to continue the conquest of the Pacific coast, loses his grip on reality, with far-reaching and fatal consequences. The White Rock is a breathtaking novel of lives echoing through time, of the many forms of violence and love, and what happens when the stories we have lived by can no longer keep us safe.
