I'm currently reading a heartwrenching non-fiction book, The Circus Fire by Stuart O'Naan. I bought it at the Ringling museum gift shop after seeing a small display about the tragedy but reading the indepth account is super depressing, but also fascinating.
This might be off the beam, but there's a non-fiction book by Stewart O'Nan called The Circus Fire.

A fire breaks out during a circus in a small town in the 1940s. The tents had been coate wit kerosene to make them waterproof.
After the fire is extinguished, a number of people are unidentified.
Today, only one body is still unidentfied - a little girl.
It was a small town - who was this little girl?
