Title: A Fall of Marigolds
Author: Susan Meissner
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Summary: This is a tale of two women--Clara and Taryn. Clara is working as a nurse on Ellis Island in 1911. She can't bear to return to Manhattan after witnessing the man she loved fall to his death during the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Taryn's story takes place in Manhattan in 2011. Taryn's husband died on 9/11. Taryn was supposed to meet him in the Tower to tell him she was pregnant but she was running behind and she survived while her husband died. Their stories are blended by a beautiful scarf that provides comfort to both of them in their time of need.
Review: I wanted to like this book more. There was nothing wrong with it. It just wasn't great. Maybe I feel like it should have been more heavy. There are some heavy topics here but it didn't get too deep. Everything was pulled together in a pretty bow at the end and sometimes I get disappointed by those.
