In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden is the story of a bittersweet romance set against the backdrop of the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, flod–a tragedy that cost some 2,200 lives when the South Fork Dam burst on Memorial Day weekend, 1889. The dam was the site of a gentlemen’s club that attracted some of the wealthiest industrialists of the day–Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Mellon, and Andrew Carnegie–and served as a summertime idyll for the families of the rich. In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden imagines the lives that were lived, lost, and irreparably changed by a tragedy that could have been averted.
Rating: 2/5
With books like this, I want to have a connection with the people in the book. I want to get to know them more. It didn’t really happen to me in this book. I didn’t feel like I know the characters after reading. It felt insufficient somehow.
Although, I gotta admit — I loved the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius quotes!
I plan on reading a fantasy book na after this. Para maiba naman. And fun and not serious!
Posted by tiffy at February 16, 2009, 10:04 pmI actually like the book cover… LOL. I think it fits that time… in Pa. I’m surprised you weren’t able to connect with the people. That’s definitely a requirement for non-fiction books, especially since this seemed to be a much-publicized event… especially since the likes of Carnegie and Mellon were connected to the town. A shame.
I’m reading a fantasy book series too! The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. I am currently on the 3rd book. Hahaha.
Have you read Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet In Heaven? Fantasy ata yun… I liked it… plus there was a shoutout to the Philippines 
May Tagalog words din nga eh!
Tiffany Chua a student from UP diliman, studying so she can learn how to read your mind. Who loves yellow and orange, and has a blatant love affair with Hello Kitty. Oh! And she also loves wasabi -- which disgust people.
And while she loves the study of Psychology, she's currently an exchange student at Nagoya Gakuin University so that she can learn how to watch Japanese dramas without the subtitles.
