I get that it’s supposed to be a commentary on women’s lives and how they can become corrupted and limited by men but it didn’t land as well as it could have. I was only really interested in Ruth’s story line which was very good. Also the Bass Rock could have been more of a presence in the story. It was more like the characters just happened to be living near it rather than a greater impact on the story.
Graphic: Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, and Sexual harassment
