A Fall of Marigolds

Clara’s journey is beautiful to watch unfold. I love the twists and turns throughout the story. I can usually predict pretty well, but she definitely surprised me many times. 
And having lived through 9/11, Taryn’s journey was especially interesting to me too. 
Now I really want to see that scarf!!!

I really enjoyed this book. There were many themes in it that I will be pondering for some time: an 'in between place' that we retreat to when dealing with tragedy and how you can get stuck there; objects that have a history and story to tell - do we pay enough attention to that story?; across centuries some human stories repeat themselves, although we sometimes feel like what we experience has never been experienced before.
I look forward to my book group discussion about this one!

I've made it my life's goal to read any and everything that mentions the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire so when I stumbled across this book, I was excited to see what it was about. It's a beautiful story about hope, love, and the courage to move forward with your life despite facing tragedy and adversity. I would highly recommend this book to history and romance buffs, as it is laden with historical accuracies and heart warming messages.

Two women living 100 years apart experience similar tragic losses of love, Clara's in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, and Taryn's in the collapse of the Twin Towers, are connected through time by a scarf. (historical fiction). Simultaneous.
