Echoes in a Nightmare by Budd Severs is a short Australian novel about sisters Echo and Erin who escape from their childhood home after her mother’s untimely death.  Echoes in a Nightmare bounces between time periods to show how Echo and Erin’s parents meet, how Echo and Erin end up leaving home, and what leads them to prostitution.My favorite aspect of this story was the relationship between Echo and her unlikely protector, her pimp/platonic roommate Stefan.  Reading as their relationship develops add to my feeling connected with the characters and their dilemmas, including Erin succumbing to her drug addiction.Echoes in a Nightmare is a short novel that will keep you emotionally invested in the wellbeing of the characters.  The ending will surprise you.  If you are looking for a good quick read then you should pick up this book.
