A Fall of Marigolds

De: Susan Meissner

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

A beautiful scarf, passed down through the generations, connects two women who learn that the weight of the world is made bearable by the love we give away....

September 1911. On Ellis Island in New York Harbor, nurse Clara Wood cannot face returning to Manhattan, where the man she loved fell to his death in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Then, while caring for a fevered immigrant whose own loss mirrors hers, she becomes intrigued by a name embroidered onto the scarf he carries...and finds herself caught in a dilemma that compels her to confront the truth about the assumptions she's made. Will what she learns devastate her or free her?

September 2011. On Manhattan's Upper West Side, widow Taryn Michaels has convinced herself that she is living fully, working in a charming specialty fabric store and raising her daughter alone. Then a long-lost photograph appears in a national magazine, and she is forced to relive the terrible day her husband died in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers...the same day a stranger reached out and saved her. Will a chance reconnection and a century-old scarf open Taryn's eyes to the larger forces at work in her life?

Great story

Such a great story! Couldn’t stop listening highly recommend. Story flowed beautifully between the two story lines. Just loved the stories associated with the scarf.

Delightful story that captured my imagination

This is an incredibly delightful historical fiction that weaves together the stories of two women from different times but unites them in the pursuit and understanding of true love. A true story about love but not a love story or romance type novel--it is far more beautiful than that label allows. The vivid details and character development drew me into the story immediately and the two different protagonists and time periods are tied together seamlessly. It is an uplifting, encouraging tale of hope and love all connected through one item of incredible beauty.

If you are seeking a delightful story of love and beauty that points to truth and hope this is an excellent suggestion. It is not heavy and burdensome but uplifting and delightful from chapter one through the conclusion.

Wonderful weaving story

I love books where you see and feel real human feelings and especially when the author can almost pluck you right in the story and you can feel their heart ache and longingly. This is a beautiful story. Very with tour time.

Beautiful story

I think this book sends a beautiful message. Spiritual without being preachy. I loved it

A bit forced

While the premise is interesting, it all comes together a bit too conveniently. I liked the characters and learned some history. Still, the writer needed a firm editor who would have taken out the trite and worn descriptions. Not a waste of time, but not as rewarding as I had hoped.
