I absolutely loved this book and keep recommending it to anyone who loves to learn about history through story. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory and the fire that killed so many women is not exactly up there in history classes with the wars, kings and blah de blah public schools keep feeding our children. Its time and place and workers come alive in this book. (a sadly eerie affect for me too while reading it was the strange mirror of the women jumping/stepping out of the 7th and 8th floor windows to fall to their deaths rather than be burnt alive, reflected in the images of people doing the same from the Twin Towers on 9/11.) There is the equally important contemporary story, as well, of the survivor of the fire, her niece, and her niece's partner, who is the rather genius musician. We see the fragility and strength of human memory, which is never separate from our emotions, desires, our grief and our hopes. Live long enough, and memory becomes a web, rewoven if broken, perhaps seeming to look different to the eye but made from the same silk as the original experience. It can also be woven by another through compassion, empathy, anger or loss into music. The metaphors of triangles throughout the book was delightful. And I have to tell you, I was compelled to go online after reading "Triangle" not only to look up more info on the original fire, but to look up Serpinski triangles -- and guess what? There are sites online that actually play music (that computer generated stuff!) based on Serpinski triangles. At least it gave me a notion (however digital) of what math might sound like.
