LitPick Review
The year: 1911, the month: March. All seemed normal to the workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, but, almost out of nowhere, a blazing fire devoured the building, showing no mercy. But what happened before the fire? What is the Triangle Shirtwaist factory? This is the story of the labor workers put in to this facility, the pain endured as men and women worked 15 hour shifts, and the tragic events that occurred on March 25, 1911.
Opinion:
As many would tell you, I am not a fan of history. Yet, there is something hidden inside the covers of "Flesh and Blood So Cheap" that creates excitement matched only by the fear felt for the many lives lost in the Triangle Fire. A mix between straight historic fact and authentic details of life in the early 1900's, this book is sure to please even the unsure. I found myself obsessed with this book from the first chapter. "Flesh and Blood So Cheap" is on its way to the best-seller list.
