Prologue
Youngstown, New York - October 2023
She found it in the back of a closet, in a house she didn't yet own, in a town she'd arrived in without quite intending to stay.
A cedar box. Old, dark wood; the brass latch tarnished to the color of old pennies. She almost didn't open it - it had the quality of something private, something that had been put somewhere safe by someone who meant to come back - but she was alone in a rental house on a river she could hear but not yet see, and the afternoon had the particular quality of October afternoons when the light comes in low and makes ordinary things look like they mean something.
She lifted the latch.
Inside, wrapped individually in cloth that had once been white and was now the color of old paper, were six bars of soap. Pale green, lighter than they looked. Each one stamped with a single letter 'S' pressed deep into the surface.
She unwrapped one and held it. Brought it close and breathed in - lavender, clean and definite, and beneath that chamomile, and beneath that something greener and older that she couldn't name, something that made her think of forests and cold streams and mornings when the dew was still on everything. She sat down on the closet floor, which she hadn't planned to do.
She sat there for a while, turning the bar in her hands, feeling the letter against her palm, not yet knowing what it stood for or who had pressed it there or how long the box had been waiting in the dark at the back of this particular closet in this particular house in this particular town. Not yet knowing any of it.
Only that the lavender smell was still present and clean after what must have been a very long time. Only that the S was distinct and deliberate, made by someone who intended it to last. Only that she felt, in the specific way that writers sometimes feel things before they understand them, that she had been expected.
She wrapped the bar carefully in its cloth and put it in the pocket of her cardigan. She got up. She went to the living room, where a paperback was shelved between a field guide to Niagara County birds and a Reader's Digest condensed novel from 1987. She pulled it out. "THE SOAPMAKER OF SALEM. The Life and Legacy of Sadie Thornbush." by Remington Foles - tucked there as if placed. As if someone had known she would come and choose it. She took it to bed.
She opened to the first page.
She began to read.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
