review 1: Frances Ellerby finds herself in Stiltsville, a community of houses built on pilings in the middle of Biscayne Bay. On the dock of a stilt house, she meets the house's owner, Dennis DuVal and moves to Miami to be with him. Frances and Dennis marry and have a child—but rather than growing complacent, they continue to face the challenges of intimacy in the Biscayne Bay. A poorly written and boring book.
review 2: After glancing at the reviews on Goodreads, I appear to be in the minority because I didn't love this book. I was curious enough to read it to the end, but I could have put it down pretty painlessly. Yes it's a love story, yes it's interesting how much Florida history the author managed to incorporate, but the story never really grabbed me. I think it'... mores because I didn't care much about the characters--I never felt a connection with any of them, and while I understand that part of the appeal of the book is that it's supposed to reveal the beauty in everyday life, it bordered on the humdrum for much of the time. I never felt like there was anything compelling about any of the characters, even the protagonist, no real reason to read or care about her story above others. less
