Award-winning author Susanna Daniel’s Stiltsville offers a gripping, bittersweet portrait of a marriage-and a romance-that deepens over three decades.One sunny morning in 1969, twenty-six-year-old Frances Ellerby finds herself in a place called Stiltsville, a community of houses built on pilings in the middle of Miami’s Biscayne Bay. It’s the first time the Atlanta native has been out on the open water, and she’s captivated. On the dock of a stilt house, with the dazzling skyline in the distance and the unknowable ocean beneath her, she meets the house’s owner, Dennis Du Val-and a new future reveals itself-one of marriage, motherhood, and the challenges of holding onto love in an era of unpredictable change for Miami.
