Review of 'Triangle' on 'Goodreads'

This book has been on my “Want to Read” list for so long, I forgot how I even heard about it. An interview? A TV show? I think it was recommended to me in 2019, after reading “The Devil in the White City.” This is a historical nonfiction, detailing the 1911 fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York’s Greenwich Village.

I had never heard of this tragic event before this book, but I’m grateful I was introduced to it via this comprehensive work.
