THE BASS ROCK

Book ID/图书代码： 00200021C00024

English Summary/英文概要： ’A modern gothic triumph. 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

Surging 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.

In the early 1700s, Sarah, accused of being a witch, flees for her life.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, Ruth navigates a new house, a new husband and the strange waters of the local community.

Six 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.

Each 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, The Bass Rock burns bright with anger and love.

*A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN AND GUARDIAN*

☆THE BASS ROCK by Evie Wyld was the worthy winner of this year’s Stella Prize

“[A] true work of art … [it] forces the reader to engage with the unique narrative structure, in a way that feels effortless.”– Stella Prize judges

“Wondrous and disturbing... There are quite a number of plot points in this book, and a great deal of structural ingenuity, but let’s zoom out first. It’s more than enough, at least for me, for a novelist to write beautiful prose — observant, melodic, imaginative. And Wyld does this...timely...moves from comic to deeply unnerving...vividly drawn... Wyld consistently entertains, juggling the pleasures of several different genres.”– New York Times

“Transcends the category of either horror or crime... expertly layered, quietly suspenseful.”- Wall Street Journal

“That rare literary novel that will give you shudders... the most gripping thing I’ve read in ages.”- Vogue

“A modern gothic triumph. 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, author of Lanny
