143 | Tea and Tattle with Evie Wyld - a podcast by Miranda Mills

This week on Tea & Tattle, I’m joined by the award winning writer, Evie Wyld, to discuss Evie’s latest novel, The Bass Rock, which is a darkly gripping story about three women separated by time but connected by place, trauma and female rage. Sarah is a young woman accused of witchcraft in the 1700s; Ruth marries a widower after World War Two and moves to a large, isolated house that looks out on the Bass Rock in North Berwick, and in the modern day Viv visits Ruth’s house after her death and sorts through family memorabilia as she tries to come to terms with the loss of her father.

I so enjoyed chatting to Evie about her writing process and how some of her own family history inspired The Bass Rock. I was also interested to learn about how the #MeToo movement influenced Evie’s writing and the true events that inspired the fictional stories of violence against women that are woven throughout the novel, making The Bass Rock such a moving and unforgettable read.
