The Echoes
by Evie Wyld
Evie Wyld’s The Echoes is a haunting exploration of love, loss, and the lingering impact of untold stories. Set between rural Australia and London, this atmospheric novel follows Max, who, upon his untimely death, finds himself trapped as a ghost, watching over his grieving girlfriend, Hannah. Through Max’s eyes, he realises just how little he understood about Hannah’s past, which she fled from Australia to escape. As Hannah unravels, the secrets she tried to leave behind resurface in unexpected ways, and she is forced to confront the events that fractured her family and shaped her journey to Max.
The story alternates between Max’s ghostly perspective and Hannah’s struggle to move forward, creating a profound narrative that is both intimate and sweeping. Wyld masterfully weaves themes of memory, family, and identity, capturing how the past reverberates across generations. Described as Wyld’s most ambitious work yet, The Echoes will captivate fans of evocative literary fiction.
