The Echoes
The Echoes: A novel | Evie Wyld
From the award-winning novelist, a ravishing new novel set between London and rural Australia, both a love story and a ghost story. Max didnt believe in an afterlife. Until he died. Now, as a reluctant ghost trying to work out why he is still here, he watches his girlfriend Hannah lost in grief in the apartment they shared and begins to realize how much of her life was invisible to him. In the weeks and months before Maxs death, Hannah was haunted by the secrets she left Australia to escape. A relationship with Max seemed to offer the potential of a fresh new chapter, but the past refused to stay hidden. It found expression in the untold stories of the people she grew up with, and the events that broke her family apart and led her to Max. Both a celebration and autopsy of a relationship, spanning multiple generations, The Echoes is a novel about love and grief, motherhood and sisterhood, secrets and who has the right to reveal themwhat of our past can be cast away and what is fixed forever, echoing down through the years.

I love the blurb to this book: “Max didn‘t believe in an afterlife. Until he died.”

Max and Hannah are a couple, living together. Then Max stays in their apartment after his death reporting on everything that happens after that.

Hannah tells the story of the past along with several others from her past

This book left me thoughtful and melancholy. Thinking about the echoes

And I wonder how Wyld does it? She keeps getting better with every book

AnneCecilie I read hers “All the Birds, Singing” and wanted to read more. I loved “The Bass Rock” and this one takes it to another level again 1mo
TheKidUpstairs I am so excited for this one! I've got it on pre-order (it's released here in February). I love Wyld's writing, she is a master at messy, compelling women! 1mo
sarahbarnes I have All the Birds on my TBR and this review makes me excited to get to it. 1mo

I do not believe in ghosts, which, since my death, has become something of a problem.

Enjoying the Spring sunshine. Another perfect story from Evie. I love how her writing flows and I enjoyed that it had such a strong Australian connection. Lots of echoes in this story. The land , the people, the past. Even an echo of a ghost. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. @LapReader

*When your book kinda matches the floor at your hairdressers*
When I saw Evie Wyld had a new book out, I raced out to buy it, having read The Bass Rock and All The Birds Singing, which were 👌.
Set in Australia and London this book explores how each generation is molded by the one before it in overt and subtle ways. Grief, abuse, love, self harm and even the Stolen Generation and a ghost feature in this affecting gem of a novel. Bravo 👏

squirrelbrain Perfect match! I just got the ARC of this (even though it came out a month ago) and I‘m looking forward to it. 2mo
Jeg I‘ve got it first when our library gets it. 2mo
MrsMalaprop @jeg oh good! 2mo
