Description
A Fall of Marigolds by Susan Meissner is a heart-wrenching novel about two women connected by tragedy and a mysterious scarf. In 1911, nurse Clara Wood finds herself struggling to cope with the loss of her loved one in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Her life is further complicated when she meets an immigrant whose own story mirrors hers, leading her to question everything she thought she knew. Years later, widow Taryn Michaels' life appears to be full of purpose, but a long-lost photograph forces her to confront the past and relive the day her husband died in the World Trade Towers. A chance reconnection and an old scarf may hold the key to unlocking the truth about her life and the larger forces at work. This poignant novel explores themes of loss, identity, and the power of human connection, creating two sympathetic characters that will resonate with readers.
