Ash Wednesday by Paula McClain (5 stars)-Phenomenal. Also WTF! I thought the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was a moral hazard and terrible and finding out this real world event of a school catching on fire in Ohio (look up Collinwood, Ohio) in the 1900s and how way too many people in the know realized this was something that should have been addressed. I honestly cried at the end of this story. McClain has us following the janitor at the time who was blamed for this by the residents (though the man also lost 3 of his own children). I got nothing.
