Everything Lost, Everything Found

A gorgeously written, immersive and deeply moving novel about the stories that shape us and the memories that ensnare us.

In 1929, young Jack travels with his parents to Henry Ford-s rubber tree plantation in the Brazilian Amazon. In this beautiful but dangerous place, he loses his much-loved mother to an horrific accident. This has terrible repercussions for his family, and Jack is eventually forced into the jungle to search for his absent father. Seventy years later, living in the heart of Michigan-s rust belt on the cusp of a new millennium, Jack faces the challenges of old age, including the gradual loss of his wife, whose memory is rapidly disappearing even as Jack-s own memories insistently resurface to invade and colonise his present.A haunting, tender and poignant novel from a master storyteller, about the stories that shape and ensnare us, and the memories that will not leave us be.
