In Evie Wyld's novel "The Echoes," the story revolves around Max, a ghost who observes his girlfriend Hannah after his death. Unable to communicate, Max becomes a passive observer of Hannah's life as she struggles with her identity and sadness. The narrative presents Hannah's experiences in London and her past in Australia, reflecting her attempts to reconcile her present with her family's legacy. The novel is structured as a mosaic of moments that delve into themes of loss, identity, and the interplay between the living and the dead.
Max offers a unique perspective on his existence as a ghost, likening himself to a 'transparent central nervous system, floating about like a jellyfish.' This metaphor captures his disconnection from the living world.
The real journey unfolds as Hannah navigates her own identity in London, revealing her struggles between who she truly is and those she seeks to escape from.
