About this listen
From the award-winning novelist, a ravishing new novel set between London and rural Australia, both a love story and a ghost story
Max didn’t 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 Max’s 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 an autopsy of a relationship, and spanning multiple generations, The Echoes is a novel about love and grief, motherhood and sisterhood, secrets and who has the right to reveal them—what of our past can be cast away and what is fixed forever, echoing down through the years.

“Compulsively readable . . . The wit of Evie Wyld is on sparkling display . . . Wyld is in complete control of each timeframe and narrative vantage point . . . She is an expert at withholding information until it can be delivered with maximum impact.”―Tobias Grey, Financial Times
“Wyld has always excelled at tension and pace, and the scattered puzzle pieces drop into place with both a feeling of horror and a strange kind of satisfaction . . . Yet as well as terror The Echoes is also suffused with love . . . It is also—and this is important—a deeply funny book . . . The last, lingering voices in the novel hint at healing—and at hope.”―Melissa Harrison, The Guardian
"The Echoes is a cleverly crafted novel . . . . A masterly achievement, a work of skill and subtle empathy that really earns our attention.”―The Sunday Times
