An addictive romance about new media stardom and first-love, perfect for fans of Beth Reekles and Jenny Han.
Connor Jackson. These two words make every girl go crazy, screaming and begging for a chance to meet him. He's the world's biggest pop star, but for seventeen-year-old Katelyn Jackson he's just her older brother.
When Katelyn is forced to put her competitive soccer dreams on hold to go along on Connor's US summer tour, she's unimpressed. But when she meets Zach Matthews, the lead singer of his opening act, everything changes and life on the road takes a whole different turn...
Bessie Come Home is a fantastic addition to the extended universe of Doctor Who, and you can't listen to it without it growing a broad, broad, satisfied smile on your face.

—— Albert Camus to Margarita LiberakiDrifting blossom, girlish secrets and lantern-lit dances pervade the 1946 Greek classic Three Summers, by Margarita Liberaki, featuring three sisters on the brink of adulthood on a pre-civil-war country estate at Kifi ssia, outside Athens.

—— Sunday Express[Boyne] is an incredibly versatile author...[this] is a brilliant read...a sharply satirical novel...so current, so relevant, absolutely hilarious
—— New BooksBiting and very funny
—— The TimesEvie Wyld’s powerful new novel…[is] a feminine counterforce to the masculine violence that pulses viscerally throughout… No wonder Wyld’s rage erupts from the page as she bears witness to the women who fail to survive and searches for ways that others might.
—— Emily Rhodes , SpectatorEvie Wyld is one of our most exciting young writers and her latest book is being touted as her breakthrough. An epic novel.
—— MetroEvie Wyld…[is] one of our most distinctive and vital voices.
—— Stephanie Cross , Daily Mail, *Books to Look Our For in 2020*Wyld is the most stupendous of writers, daring, heartfelt, explosive. The Bass Rock reminds us of all her power and brilliance, it thrums with an anger it is impossible not to feel.
—— Daisy JohnsonThe Bass Rock is a multi-generational modern gothic triumph. It is spectacularly well-observed, profoundly disquieting and utterly riveting. Like all Evie Wyld's work it is startlingly insightful about psychological and physical abuse. It is a haunting, masterful novel.
—— Max PorterA brutal portrait of male violence, as unchanging down the centuries as the coastal rock of the title… Cleverly constructed, full of electric scene-making, and harnessing an eerie energy…the novel ends in hope.
—— Anthony Cummins , iEverything [Evie Wyld] has published has left me excited and slightly (very) envious of her ability… And then came The Bass Rock… Something extremely special… The book takes on an immense power. This is the best book of the #MeToo era… An absolute blinder.
—— Fran Slater , BookmunchVividly told and compelling… The Bass Rock is…beautifully written and powered by blistering force and righteous anger.
—— Alice O'Keefe , BooksellerEvie Wyld is exceptionally good at the gruesome… Her bewitching third novel…The Bass Rock is beautifully written and its particular brand of macabre is all Evie Wyld’s own. The tension, foreboding and sense of inevitability are hard to shake off, even once the final page is turned. Its atmosphere is so powerful that you feel you need to go for a walk afterwards.
—— Cressida Connolly , Literary ReviewA dark, gristly marvel of a novel. The Bass Rock held me in thrall from cover to cover. Evie Wyld is a gothic genius: her narrative of the violence inflicted on women throughout the centuries and the seething, female anger left in its wake left me with a deep sense of disquiet that will doubtless remain for years to come.
—— Hannah KentA fierce novel exploring the subjugation of – and violence against – women through the ages.
—— Hannah Beckerman , ObserverI savoured this wonderful novel; it is so extraordinarily clear-eyed and vivid, sharply disturbing yet deeply compassionate. What an amazing achievement.
—— Megan HunterWonderfully subtle and magnificently savage.
—— Claire FullerEvie Wyld's vivid, visceral writing has long been in a class of its own – and as beautiful as it is terrifying, as moral as it is furious, The Bass Rock is her at her unflinching best.
—— Melissa HarrisonAmazingly good. The Bass Rock will fill the air around you with angry ghosts and you will be glad in their company.
—— Adam FouldsWyld’s The Bass Rock is her third novel and best so far… this is Wyld’s masterpiece – as majestic and monumental as the landmark it’s named after.
—— Alex Preston , Observer, *Books to Look Our For in 2020*A bewitching and atmospheric novel, laced with dread. It reveals the haunted house of society, with its echoes of damaged and extinguished lives, but is also illuminated by beautiful observation about people, and their capacity for both violence and empathy.
—— James ScudamoreI loved The Bass Rock and found it menacing, sophisticated, magical and also very funny – the best book yet by a wonderful writer.
—— Anjali JosephEvie Wyld’s The Bass Rock sounds fascinating… Wyld has a luminous prose style, and to see how she copes with 300 years and Scottish doubleness (or tripleness) is high on my list of “to reads”.
—— Stuart Kelly , Scotland on SundayBeautifully written, [The Bass Rock] is a reminder of female folklore and the power of giving words to women.
—— Stylist *10 glorious new books to buy this March*Ambitious in scope… The physical atmosphere of the Bass Rock and its surroundings are wonderfully evoked… But it is the relationships between women in this tessellated work that triumph... I wholly recommend this book.
—— William Jolt , Tablet, *Novel of the Week*Wyld is often praised for her lyrical prose, and The Bass Rock is most certainly a continuation of this form.
—— Julie Vuong , Skinny[A] dark, beautiful and funny gothic family saga for the #MeToo generation… an atmospheric book that transports you within a few sentences… The tension is always building as the story takes on an otherworldly dimension.
—— Charlotte Cripps , IndependentThe Bass Rock is complex, rich, challenging… Like David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, The Bass Rock offers a universal history of subjugation and oppression… Violence…runs through the book like veins in marble… Vivid and gripping.
—— Irish TimesA gripping look at three women's stories across four centuries.
—— Joanne Finney , Good HousekeepingEvie Wyld’s passion for horror shines through in the setting of this novel.
—— Chiara Rimella , MonocleUtterly enthralling… [Wyld’s] eye for human foibles and idiosyncrasy is incredibly sharp, and this novel once again exhibits her bravura way with narrative structure… Dark, disturbing and very sophisticated.
—— William Boyd , Sunday Times[An] intensely absorbing gothic novel, which weaves together the fate of three women across three centuries. That it can also comfortably accommodate episodes of off-the-wall, Fleabag-esque hilarity confirms the acclaimed Wyld's brilliance.
—— Stephanie Cross , Daily Mail *Best of Summer Books*Wyld's thought-provoking plots separate this book from many others on the shelves... Wyld's three narratives are artfully crafted to suit the shifting time frames.
—— Scottish FieldWyld's ingeniously linked narratives weave a haunting tale of fear and defiance.
—— Jane Shilling , Daily MailA novel of such subtlety and hope
—— Ross Raisin, author of A NATURAL , Observer, *Summer Reads of 2022*
