4.5⭐
This was a highly engrossing read that I didn't want to put down. In fact, I was so absorbed by the book that I missed my bus stop. My heart broke for everything the Radium Girls went through and multiple times I found myself tearing up at the lifelong suffering and injustice they faced. Their extraordinary strength, courage and spirit moved me deeply.
I often feel conflicted when it comes to non-fiction books like this because on one hand, the dramatised writing and language makes for a very compelling and emotional read. At the same time, I prefer non-fiction books to give a more balanced and factual account instead of bringing in personal biases. Hmmm...
Nevertheless, this is an incredible, powerful and haunting read that I would highly recommend!
