内容简介

"In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden" is the story of a bittersweet romance set against the backdrop of the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, flood -- 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.
