lisadee 's review for:
In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden
by Kathleen Cambor
This book was picked randomly off of the shelf in the library without any recommendation or even knowledge of what it was about. (Thus is my life in the summer with a baby in my arms and a 6 year old in tow.) Sometimes this randomness provides a means of finding new authors and good stories. This time it produced a historically inspired, but ficticious account of the Great flood of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The author attempts to get into the lives of the people it effected and those that had a part in its being. The story was accurate in a lot of the details of the flood, but the story kept jumping from one set of characters to another so that sometimes it was hard to follow.
The story took me most of the book to get into, and for its length took longer to read than it should have.
