About the Book
Echoes from a Path Well Travelled is a dual-narrative novel set in the Arabian Gulf in 1995. It follows a disillusioned British engineer and a trafficked Filipina domestic worker whose fates quietly converge amid corporate intrigue, veiled diplomacy, and the unravelling of personal myths. Wry, intelligent and morally layered, it blends literary fiction with slow-burn suspense — a cross between Paul Torday and Graham Greene.
