Everything Lost, Everything Found Mom's Hilarious Outfit Choice: Pajamas with Formal Shoes TikTok. 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 lushly beautiful but dangerous place, he loses his much loved mother to a horrific accident. This has terrible repercussions for his family, and Jack is eventually forced into the jungle to search for his absent father. Seven decades 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 of fifty years, whose memory is disappearing even as Jack's own memories insistently resurface to invade and colonise his present. Everything Lost, Everything Found, from master storyteller Matthew Hooton, is haunting, tender and poignant, a rich and emotional novel about loss, grief and memory, and how the past never truly leaves us.
