The last living survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire leaves many unanswered questions about the fire. Ruth, a feminist historian, contacts Esther's granddaughter to seek answers but Rebecca never suspected her grandmother was hiding anything, until she begins to listen to Ruth's seemingly wild theories.

Half of this book is very interesting but Weber includes a parallel story about Rebecca's significant other, George, who writes powerful and affecting music based on patterns in nature. She includes a tremendous amount of detail about his process but does not succeed in tying it to Esther and Rebecca's story. Intricately plotted; occasional biting humor; somber and thought-provoking; stylistically complex writing with some exceptional passages.
