The Girl in the Triangle by Joyana Peters
5.0
I loved this book, is you've read my past reviews you'll know that I love dual-point-of-view novels.
We begin the novel with, Ruth, her sister Ester and her mother finally make it to The United States or America after escaping the Russian War in the 1900s.
Once, the family was settled in America, it was sad to see the sisters, Ruth and Ester grow apart as the story went on.
Ruth, throughout her standing up for the workers in the Triangle, pushes everyone she loved away from her and doesn’t realize until she lost two of the most important people on her life.
This book is about family and culture, and creating something new, while keeping traditions.
This story does not have a happy ending, there was no happy ending for the one hundred and forty-six workers who lost their lives and no happy ending for the love ones left behind. The grief and regret that followed Ruth after the fire was heart breaking.
Ruth’s growth throughout the book was empowering, and even though it caused trouble within her home life, fighting for what you believe in and what is right comes with a price.
While, the The Girl in the Triangle is filled with sadness, there is also hope and joy.
