The Bass Rock by Evie Wyld

4.0

I enjoyed this novel about three connected experiences of misogyny in three time periods in the same place. I think what made it compelling was the strange supernatural element that ran throughout. The little vignettes of random additional tales of violence against women (also in the same physical place) that were interspersed between chapters didn't add an enormous amount but perhaps aimed to convey the relentlessness and ubiquitousness of this sort of experience? They came off slightly too on the nose, perhaps a bit GCSE project social commentary. Evie Wyld writes so well though. Not a patch on All The Birds, Singing but still a good read.
