Welcome to Litsy!

This is such a sad book. It starts with Max in an afterlife, after his death. He watches his girlfriend Hannah grieving in their London apartment. She‘s grieving for him but also for the echoes of the past, her growing up in rural Australia and all the secrets she left behind when coming to England.

Evie Wyld is a great storyteller and all pov‘s of the story are build up so well. An impressive book about love and grief and heritage.

The Echoes is set between rural Australia and London. So I‘m traveling a lot today 😎 and enjoying it a lot!

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

I finished The Hound of the Baskervilles #NoPlaceLikeHolmes and continued with Trans Like Me #SheSaid and DarkFire #ShardlakeBR

I finished Cold Enough for Snow

I read Hotel du Lac and Queen B

I‘m currently reading The Echoes

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 👏
