“A wise and loving portrait of a marriage….Susanna Daniel writes beautifully of matters of the heart.” — Jennifer Haigh, author of The Condition

When Frances accepts an invitation to visit Stiltsville, a community of houses built on pilings in Biscayne Bay, she has no idea that her simple yes to a new friend will determine the course of her life for the next two dozen years. Set in Miami from the late ’60s to the 1990s, *Stiltsville* is a sweeping journey seen through the eyes of one woman as she experiences love, motherhood, friendship, hurricanes, racial tension, and finally, a tragic death in slow motion. In her debut novel, Daniel describes the experiences of three generations in one family whose spiritual heart is centered in a modest bungalow built a few feet above the water. When Frances meets and marries Dennis, she learns to live her life on the water, from bay to ocean to everglade to bayou. She navigates through it all; infidelity, empty-nest syndrome, and debilitating illness; sometimes with grace and humor, sometimes with anger and bitterness, but always with the same people by her side. Daniel excels in capturing the flavor and decadence of Miami as it became a multicultural hotbed. In *Stiltsville* , she has woven factual events into Frances’s life from a tumultuous period that witnessed racial beatings, the cocaine wars, and Hurricane Andrew. The result is a riveting novel filled with pathos.
