Everything Lost Returns — Sarah Domet
Set in 1920 and 1986, when Halley's Comet was last visible from earth, Everything Lost Returns is a heartfelt, dual timeline historical novel following a soap opera star and a factory worker
It's 1910, and as Halley's Comet approaches, the world is holding its breath. Opal, on the run from her abusive husband, has become an Earthshine girl - working in a factory owned by the illustrious Tuttle family to make the extremely popular Earthshine soap. Despite her newfound financial independence, Opal can't help but notice that many of the Earthshine girls are falling sick, and they all suffer the same symptoms - is it possible that the soap, and the Tuttle family, are responsible?
Meanwhile, in 1986, Halley's Comet once again makes its way toward earth. Struggling soap opera actress Nona Dixon owes everything to Bertie Tuttle, who put Nona's face on Earthshine soap when she was a child and made her a star. But when Nona starts doing some digging on her benefactor, she begins to uncover a dark history surrounding Bertie, Opal, and the soap that binds all three women together.
Gorgeously written and intricately constructed, Everything Lost Returns is a story of friendship and betrayal, guilt and redemption, and the power we have, in our own small way, to change the course of history.
