“Fall of Marigolds” is a historical fiction novel that intertwines the stories of two woman separated by a century, both deeply affected by tragedy. Clara Wood, a nurse on Ellis Island in 1911, grapples with grief after losing her love in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Taryn Michaels, in 2011, experiences the aftermath of her husband’s death in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. A scarf adorned with marigolds, symbolic of love and loss, connects their narratives, highlighting the enduring nature of love and the strength of survival.
This is one of my all time favorites! A book I wish I could rediscover again and again. Do not let this one pass you by.
