Perhaps I'm slow, but when Esther repeats her testimony over and over, it wasn't until near the end that I saw the discprencies. The only thing that didn't make sense to me was when the researcher left the cat out on the windowsill, perhaps I was missing something or it was just to break up the tension.
Cute cover, the idea that you're "unbuttoning" the truth or buttoning it up depending how you look at it. A brilliant, haunting novel about one of the most terrible tragedies in early twentieth-century America, Triangle forces us to consider how we tell our stories, how we hear them, and how history is forged from unverifiable truths. Wrote The Music Lesson Jul 28, skein rated it liked it Shelves: 3-star. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for stories of avoidable disaster, and the Triangle Factory fire in was nothing if not avoidable. Many that's why I liked this? It is something like a conceptual novel - andthe writing almost always falls flat under the weight of One Good Idea - but not in this case.
There is a large amount of repetition - the same long story is told at least five separate times - but the plot such as it is. Or look on it as post-traumatic-stress-disorder: the mind re-visiting the scene of a trauma. And this is a terrible review - I can't just describe this accurately without giving it away.
And I must be true to the star honor rating! Okay, it's how-to-predict-disaster-time: don't give the fire department ladders that go up to the top of the building! Hmm, but wasn't that because the ladders were too heavy at that length to be stable? Those poor immigrant girls. Mar 11, Elaine rated it really liked it. This is the centennial of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire so it seemed fitting to find this book at the library. It was the memory of the fire that kept me reading too, because the first chapters almost made me give up on the book.
One of the main characters is a composer, and the chapter about him seemed to have the sole purpose of showing off the author's knowledge about music. Likewise with the chapter about another main character, a geneticist -- and again, we learn that the author knows lots This is the centennial of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire so it seemed fitting to find this book at the library.
Likewise with the chapter about another main character, a geneticist -- and again, we learn that the author knows lots about genetics. More than we need to know. But then we get into the meat of the story -- Esther's story, a centenarian who is the last survivor of the Triangle fire. She is the grandmother of Rebecca, the geneticist, whose boyfriend is the composer.
A feminist historian is trying to wring some hidden truths from Esther to complete her new book on the fire. Here the author takes us through Esther's version s of the fire, from an ILGWU pamphlet, from the transcript of the trial of the owners of the factory they were acquitted of any malfeasance, though workers perished in the fire , from her multiple interviews with the historian. Slowly, we get to know who Esther is and all she has been through. The final chapters -- where we return to music and memory -- are riveting, so I am glad I stuck with it.

The present concerns the life of a woman named Rebecca, whose grandmother, Esther, was the oldest living survivor of the terrible New York fire. Rebecca is married to George, an innovative composer. Through the "This is what happened. Through the course of the novel the reader comes to understand the nature of George's music, with its themes and variations, and the true nature of what happened to Rebecca's grandmother in the sweatshop where she worked.
I imagine some readers will find all the music theory tiresome, and will be impatient with the repetition of Esther's often told story. But patience will pay off.

It all fits together in the end, and like powerful music, will move your heart.

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 From the front cover to the last page of this book, I found surprises. 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.
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 The last living survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire leaves many unanswered questions about the fire. 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. Mar 01, Mallory rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: everyone. This is a gorgeous book drawn from the author's own life and her Grandmother's experiences. After the fictional oldest survivor of the Triangle Factory Fires, Esther, passes away, her granddaughter realizes that Esther's story was full of holes as to what actually happened on the afternoon that killed so many, including her fiance and her sister.
This is not so much a story of the Triangle Fires, but a story of secrets set against this historical backdrop. Equally engaging is the sub-plot of This is a gorgeous book drawn from the author's own life and her Grandmother's experiences. Equally engaging is the sub-plot of musical composition, which is fascinating, artistic and never heavy handed. You'll never forget this one. Aug 23, Anne rated it really liked it. Three characters: the year old survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire; the younger couple trying to figure out what really happened; and the music created out from such inspirations as a DNA helix or a protein string.
Surprisingly beautiful in the parts involving the couple and the music. Jarring when reliving the fire. My only quabble with the book is that the old woman is reflected in her interviews with someone who really annoys her. Not knowing about the interviewer until later Three characters: the year old survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire; the younger couple trying to figure out what really happened; and the music created out from such inspirations as a DNA helix or a protein string.
Not knowing about the interviewer until later in the book, I simply found the old woman unsympathetic at first. Still, a good read and interesting historical information. Feb 18, Marilynmayer rated it really liked it.
The story includes the reflections of her granddaughter, who is rather perturbed by the historian who seems obsessed with getting to the bottom of that tragic day.

Triangle by Katharine Weber
It has an unexpected story line about a guy who could write music based on DNA that would remind you of the person, disease, etc. I am not musical and skimmed most of the music part but in hindsight, I think it did add to the story. The story is about a survivor of the Triangle shirtwaist factory. It is a story of the will to survive, survivor's guilt, and the survivor's story.

Questions and Topics for Discussion
A carefully crafted novel that looks back at the Triangle factory fire in NYC through the lens of its oldest living survivor in her final days. The determined historian was an overly crass character that seemed a bit over the top, and the transcript repetitions were a bit tedious -- but necessary to catch the subtle slips and inconsistencies that lead to the truth. Ultimately a very satisfying read.
Mar 07, Agnes rated it really liked it. Quite a telling story of how one person created a life out of a tragedy. I had known of this fire but didn't realize any survivor had lived to that great age. I will nees to check that out. I found the herstorian to be very abrasive in her actions.

I now see how both Rebecca and George could be related back several generations if the sexual abuse part is correct, and it most likely was. May 09, Clariss rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed the way this book was written and the characters developed. A lot of time was spent on the grand daughter's love interest and his music which is interesting, as it didn't necessarily have anything to do with Esther's story -- but I really enjoyed the depth into his character and that of Rebecca. I thought this was fabulous! It was odd though that it was rooted in such history and reality but still fiction.
Weber did a really good job of describing the music elements that as a reader I was just like, "How does this not exist?! The only fault was that Grosse Pointe was spelled without an e. Damn them. May 21, Laura booksnob rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Everyone.
