The Girl in the Triangle by Joyana Peters

4.0

I was very interested in this book because both the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the Russian Revolution were events I did not know a whole lot about. It is clear that a lot of extensive research went into the writing of this book and I was so glad to have learned a bit along the way.

At first, I thought it was a little strange that each chapter started with “__ days until the fire”. I thought this might make the events in the story more anticlimactic. This definitely was not true. I was still drawn into the story and was absolutely horrified by the fire when it happened.

I really enjoyed the character development I’m the story and was captivated by Ruth’s family and all that they had been through. This was an enjoyable read for me.
