The Echoes: A Novel by Evie Wyld

---

This one was tough to rate. While the writing style and structure worked for me (and I appreciated the narrators), the parts that briefly touch on colonialism don't quite land. The line, "Sometimes silence is better than the wrong person speaking," kept coming back to me. Why use the suffering of First Nations children, families, and communities to root the intergenerational trauma of a white family at all then? This article better articulates this point.
