The Echoes
Evie Wyld
2024
The Echoes (2024) by British-Australian writer, Evie Wyld, includes references to the Stolen Generation.
Hannah is an Australian living in London and estranged from her family. She and her sister, Rachel, grew up in Western Australia close to where a ‘reform school’ for Aboriginal Australian children once existed.
The novel reflects changing attitudes to Aboriginal children stolen from their parents and often renamed.
Hannah’s mother, for example, wants to believe the couple running the school were well-intentioned.
The elderly son of that couple knows that many of the children died and were buried without markers.
