sarahbowman101 's review for:
In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden
by Kathleen Cambor
The whole time I was reading this book I kept wishing it was a non-fiction book instead. It is clear that the author spent considerable time doing research for this novel, so much so that the "story" gets lost in the dense details. I had a hard time sorting out all the characters, and kept having to refer to the book jacket to remember who Daniel was and who was in the Civil War and who wasn't. Parts of this book were excellent and riveting, but the overall effect was a novel that tried too hard. Free of anything offensive (well other than the actions of those who were members of the South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club - but that is another story), there is enough here to generally recommend to people who enjoy historical fiction.
