Bass Rock by Evie Wyld

‘Surging out of the sea, for centuries 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.’

Starting in the 1700s and travelling through to the present day, Bass Rock, seamlessly weaves the lives and choices of three women, all bound and influenced by the men in their lives, to create a triad of sisterhood. Beautifully written, and despite its almost Gothic sense of sadness and violence, fundamentally a tale of people and their ties to the place we call home.
