Beschreibung

'A modern gothic triumph' Max Porter<br><br>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.<br><br>In the early 1700s, Sarah, accused of being a witch, flees for her life.<br><br>In the aftermath of the Second World War, Ruth navigates a new house, a new husband and the strange waters of the local community. <br><br>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.<br><br>Each woman's choices are circumscribed by the men in their lives. But in sisterhood there is the hope of survival and new life...<br><br>WINNER OF THE STELLA PRIZE_______________<br><br>PRAISE FOR THE BASS ROCK:<br>'Daring, heartfelt, explosive' Daisy Johnson<br>'A vividly imagined portrait' Sunday Times<br>'Dark, disturbing and very sophisticated' William Boyd <br>'Wonderfully subtle and magnificently savage' Claire Fuller
