Review title: I'd drown in a flood before recommending this book
Product review: When I picked up this book, I was genuinely excited at the prospect of learning more about the Johnstown flood and the lives of those who perished. My excitement quickly waned as I plodded through the first 237 pages with not so much as a deep puddle in sight. Cambor spends the majority of the novel developing several different characters and, oddly, relates each character's entire family history in an attempt to emotionally engage the reader once the flood strikes. However, the 10 or so pages that actually deal with the flood only mention most of these characters in passing. I'm guessing the author did a great job of imagining the lives of the real people who were effected by the flood, but the effort is lost on those of us who are not Johnstown flood historians.
