Helpful Score: 2
At times emotionally overwhelming, a woven thread of character stories that tore at my heart and then proceeded to put it back together again A Fall of Marigolds is sure to impact lives and remind readers of what they have to be grateful for.
Set between two American tragedies in 1911 and again on 9/11 there were scenes throughout the book that were so emotionally evoking that I almost wanted to set the book down and breathe a different breath of air. I was taken to the streets of Manhattan on both of these tragedies that tore at my heart.
Clara and Taryn are two women, separated by one hundred years and yet tied together with this piece of cloth, a scarf that has seen them through some of the hardest points of their life. While the story has much going on within our characters, there is a tremendous level of hope. The story is told so both spectrums are well balanced and I found I didnt want to put the book down. I wanted to find out what happened to these women that came alive on the page.
This novel is written for the secular market, but one no less powerful with a story line that I think will connect with so many readers. It takes a great deal of emotional energy to write an emotionally impactful story and that was certainly accomplished within this novel.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author and publisher for my copy to review.
