Flesh & Blood So Cheap: The Triangle Fire and Its Legacy by Albert Marrin
4.0
I borrowed this short audiobook from my library using the Libby app. It's young adult nonfiction, so adult reading may find some of the explanatory background material a little basic. No worries, though. It succinctly tells the story of the worst disaster in New York's history before the terrorist attacks of 9-11-2001. Marrin's telling gives sufficient gravity to the tragedy of the situation without being melodramatic, striking a nice balance between a historian's detachment and a very human story with which we can all empathize. On the whole, it's quite well done.
The audiobook can be listened to in about four hours.
