People of the Rock
A hopeful story of time-travelling lesbians, quantum entanglement & goats
In this hopeful queer time-travelling love story, Lucy is destined to save the whole world – okay, Vancouver – from the apocalypse. But does she really have to leave the love of her life to do it? And what’s with all the goats?
Lucy’s ex-girlfriend is missing, her heart is broken, and her shoes are way too slippery when she hits her head and wakes up 500 years in the future. The future, if that’s what it is, is perfect. Vancouver is an eco-paradise, complete with renewable energy, a gift economy, and a smart, hot historian with a big secret. Lucy’s ex is not so lucky.
However, back in the present, her gay best friend is about to be arrested for her murder, and the ancestors of people she now loves will never be born. Will Lucy stay with her true love in paradise or lose everything to save them all?
If you’ve ever worried about how we could possibly thrive after everything the world is throwing at us from pandemics to climate change, this is for you. Sprinkled with nerdy nuggets of seismology, quantum entanglement, and temporal uncertainty for extra seasoning. But goats eat everything, right?
Sophia’s new book, People of the Rock, is as layered and genre-bending as she is. Set in a climate-changed near future where parts of Vancouver have vanished into the ocean, the story follows two queer women entangled across time by a mysterious act of magic and a bit of quantum weirdness. It’s a time-travel romance with high stakes, ecological undertones, and a surprising number of goats. Sophia blends speculative science, pagan sensibility, and queer longing into a story that’s both hopeful and deeply human.

In this crazy world, a story of a happy and smart future with people in community and lots of love! I loved this easy yet fascinating read of hopeful futures, a little mystery, a little science along with a little sacredness, a little romance and main characters i could relate to. Smartly written with fascinating quotes for each chapter tied it all together. I also LOVED reading about the local Vancouver area with such a clever future rewrite too! The blurb for this book above is perfect, as it so neatly describes this lovely read that made me smile and made my heart happy.

A future Lucy falls in love with and also finds the love of her life. But back home her best friend is facing growing suspicion from the homicide detective around Lucy’s disappearance.

What does our heroine have to do to ensure this time line is the one that plays out? And what the heck do all these goats have to do with it? To answer these questions find a comfy corner, settle in, and enjoy this brilliant read.

This story follows the time-travelling adventures of Lucy, a woman fresh from a recent breakup who’s transported into a hopeful but uncertain future. We follow Lucy as she journeys into a version of Vancouver where urban goats and quantum computing coexist harmoniously. While the opening chapter features a confusing cast of new characters, the book quickly finds its stride. I enjoyed stepping into the world, which offered an unusual blend of the romantic, mystical, philosophical and pragmatic. The characters were realistic and engaging, with a steamy queer romance subplot. The story explores the meaning of community and offers inspiration for anyone considering alternative family structures. If you’d enjoy a vision of the future that isn’t only dystopian doom, this book’s well worth your time. Warning: you may find yourself googling goat facts after you finish reading it.
