From the front cover to the last page of this book, I found surprises. For example, it took me a couple of glances to see the cover (there are buttons) in the way the author would want me to see them.
In the body of this novel, I found the major characters to be fascinating. We have Esther who survived the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, her granddaughter who is a genetic counselor, her lover who writes amazing music and a pain-in-the-neck feminist. I was amazed that anyone could make any story with these people.
Katherine Weber makes a wonderful story, as I said, with plenty of surprises. How she brings these disparate parts to tell the whole - with an unexpected ending is something only a good writer could ever do.
