Spectacularly well-observed, profoundly disquieting and utterly riveting. Like all Evie Wyld's work it is startlingly insightful about psychological and physical abuse. It is a haunting, masterful novel.' -Max Porter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurging out of the sea, the Bass Rock has for centuries watched over the lives that pass under its shadow on the Scottish mainland. And across the centuries the fates of three women are linked: to this place, to each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 1700s, Sarah, accused of being a witch, flees for her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the aftermath of the Second World War, Ruth navigates a new house, a new husband and the strange waters of the local community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix decades later, the house stands empty. Viv, mourning the death of her father, catalogues Ruth's belongings and discovers her place in the past - and perhaps a way forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach woman's choices are circumscribed, in ways big and small, by the men in their lives. But in sisterhood there is the hope of survival and new life. Intricately crafted and compulsively readable, \u003ci\u003eThe Bass Rock\u003c\/i\u003e burns bright with anger and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e*A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE \u003ci\u003eTELEGRAPH\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNEW STATESMAN\u003c\/i\u003e AND \u003ci\u003eGUARDIAN\u003c\/i\u003e*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53768438350097,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781911214397.jpg?v=1783945247","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-bass-rock-by-evie-wyld","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
