The Echoes Signed First Edition

The Echoes is a masterly achievement, a work of skill and subtle empathy that really earns our attention. It will linger with me for a very long time * Sunday Times *
Precise and unforgiving… 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… Nobody writes about trauma like Wyld * Guardian *
This is stranger, darker and more brilliant than anything she’s written before… This is a book that will stay with you for ever – both intimate and extraordinarily ambitious * Observer, *Books to Look Out For 2024* *
The wit of Evie Wyld is on sparkling display in the first line of her unsettling fourth novel… compulsively readable… Wyld is an uncommonly sensorial writer, relentless in the ways that she captures the bodily disgust of abusive behaviour and the burning desire to break its hereditary cycle * Financial Times *
It takes brilliance and verve to leap into the darkness as Evie Wyld does here. What a discovery - this is the first book of her books I have read; it will certainly not be the last -- Anne Enright, author of The Wren, The Wren
Unsettling, vivid, and beautifully written -- Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground
A stunning, immersive work of sharp prose, weaving intergenerational trauma and a ghost story and the complexities of love and families. Wyld gets better with each novel -- Sinéad Gleeson, author of Hagstone
I’ve loved all of Evie Wyld’s novels, but I think this may be my favourite. Like all the best ghost stories, The Echoes is also a love story. It’s funny and moving and has such intelligent things to say about family, about shared histories and grief and the ways people find to heal themselves -- Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train
A story about humans as they are - complicated bundles of pain, love, cruelty, cowardice, tenderness, bravery, loyalty. When the world is encouraging us to see each other as one dimensional, complex characters like those in The Echoes are necessary. And on top of all that Wyld is funny -- Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You
Evie Wyld is a true powerhouse, her latest novel The Echoes is unflinching in its exploration of loss, grief, historical trauma and complex relationships and families. This is an utterly compelling, vivid and powerful novel, it contains courageous love and truth, stunning fearless writing, outstanding story telling and a tremendous intimacy, this book holds a voice that sings and stays with you, haunting you, long after you have read the last page -- Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death
