Description
A small town on California's wild river, at the edge of the desert and the forest home to the state's last Native Americans. When Boa, the charismatic new mayor, decides to put Coca on the map, he plans a monumental six-lane bridge, designed to catapult the city into the third millennium. Workers from across the globe flock to California, drawn by the promise of work and a chance to escape their pasts. But as they build this massive project, they must navigate not only the intricacies of the construction site but also the complexities of human relationships and the legacy of the land itself. This novel, translated from French, explores the tensions between progress and tradition, as a broad cast of characters grapple with their own fears and passions.
