Stiltsville Reviewed By Amy Lignor of Bookpleasures.com
- By Amy Lignor
- Published July 27, 2010
- Travel & Adventure
Author: Susanna Daniel
The story is in a beautiful
setting, and the author has a way of making the scenery come to
life. In fact, the descriptions at times are so breathtaking
that you feel like you’re reading poetry from the “masters.”
This is a welcome debut from an author who, if she keeps writing like
this, will be around for a long, long time to come
