And across the centuries, the fates of three women are inextricably linked to this place and to one another: Sarah, accused of being a witch, is fleeing for her life; Ruth, in the aftermath of the Second World War, is navigating a new marriage and the strange waters of the local community; and six decades later, Viv, still mourning the death of her father, is cataloging Ruth's belongings in the now-empty house. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs each woman's story unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that their choices are circumscribed, in ways big and small, by the men who seek to control them. But in sisterhood there is also the possibility of survival and a new way of life. Intricately crafted and compulsively readable, \u003ci\u003eThe Bass Rock\u003c\/i\u003e burns bright with love and fury--a devastating indictment of violence against women and an empowering portrait of their resilience through the ages.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvie Wyld\u003c\/b\u003e's debut novel, \u003ci\u003eAfter the Fire, a Still Small Voice\u003c\/i\u003e, was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and awarded the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize.
