Ep 126: The Bass Rock


Listen Later

Anna and Amanda discuss the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, awarded to Colson Whitehead for The Nickel Boys.

Our book of the week is The Bass Rock by Evie Wyld, award-winning author and "gothic genius" (Hannah Kent).  This is a gripping novel about three women set in brooding coastal Scotland in the 18th century, 1950s and today. Described as "#MeToo Gothic" (Sydney Morning Herald), we love Jen Campbell's book maths: "Sarah Waters meets Ali Smith meets Fleabag".  It's brilliant.

Coming up: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell.
