A A Fall of Marigolds by Susan Meissner, published on February 4, 2014, by Berkley. This compelling, emotional novel explores the lives of two women connected by a beautiful scarf across a century. In 1911, nurse Clara Wood grapples with her past and the mystery of a name embroidered on an immigrant’s scarf while trying to move forward in Manhattan after the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Ten decades later, Taryn Michaels, a widow living in 2011 New York City, reexamines her life following a photograph that brings back memories of the day her husband died during the World Trade Center collapse. As their paths intertwine through the centuries-old scarf and a series of coincidences, both women are forced to confront long-held secrets and truths that could change everything.
With 400 pages filled with rich historical detail and emotional depth, A Fall of Marigolds offers a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the unexpected ways in which our lives can be intertwined. Susan Meissner masterfully weaves together past and present, creating a story that will resonate with readers long after they turn the final page.
