The Echoes
The Echoes: A novel | Evie Wyld
3 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
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 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 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. 3w
