In Stiltsville by Susanna Daniel, Frances attends a wedding in Florida only to meet her true love. Dennis is a law student when they meet at Stiltsville where his grandfather built a stilted house in 1945. Frances worked in a bank in Atlanta, the area from which she was from.
This historical fiction novel covers the lives of Frances and Dennis over the course of their courtship, wedding, baby Margo, home ownership, bigger home, unemployment, hurricanes, etc. Miami truly becomes Frances' home, although there will come a day when she lives it behind.
I enjoyed learning about the history of Stiltisville and its change from private ownership to state ownership.
I really enjoy Susanna Daniel's writing of literary fiction. I have also read her book Sea Creatures and eagerly await her next book, whenever that occurs.
