After reading David McCullough's Johnstown Flood, a non-fiction account of this disaster, I was intrigued by Ms. Cambor's In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden. If one wants the facts surrounding the Johnstown flood, McCullough's work serves well. If one is looking for the human side of the events leading up to this event, I recommend this book. Kathleen Cambor's In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden accomplishes this aim of swimming in both directions. She recreates post-Civil War Pennsylvania as a shadowed and suffocating time in which the trauma of war has not so much been forgotten as repressed.
