The Girls in the Stilt House by Kelly Mustian Book Summary

THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"Remarkable debut.... [a] nearly flawless tale of loss, perseverance and redemption."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

Perfect for readers of Where The Crawdads Sing! Set in 1920s Mississippi, this debut Southern novel weaves a beautiful and harrowing story of two teenage girls cast in an unlikely partnership through murder.

Ada promised herself she would never go back to the Trace, to her hard life on the swamp and her harsh father. But now, after running away to Baton Rouge and briefly knowing a different kind of life, she finds herself with nowhere to go but back home. And she knows there will be a price to pay with her father.

Matilda, daughter of a sharecropper, is from the other side of the Trace. Doing what she can to protect her family from the whims and demands of some particularly callous locals is an ongoing struggle. She forms a plan to go north, to pack up the secrets she's holding about her life in the South and hang them on the line for all to see in Ohio.

As the two girls are drawn deeper into a dangerous world of bootleggers and moral corruption, they must come to terms with the complexities of their tenuous bond and a hidden past that links them in ways that could cost them their lives.

A true page turner!!!. Do yourself a favor and read this book!!!

Great read. Beautifully written. You will find yourself engulfed in the story of Ada and Mathilda

The Girls in the Stilt House. The book is probably great but the audio version is sooooooooo bad I couldn’t get through the first chapter! I should have previewed it first! I’ll purchase again and read it myself.

Mesmerizing. Loved this book

Fantastic!. Great story; moving; easy and fluid reading. Definitely recommend!

Girls in the stilt house. Excellent read. A page turner. We’ll written.

Quite the debut!!. Brilliant! I didn’t want to put it down!

Great book. Loved this book. The characters are well defined and believable. Excellent story, it , kept me guessing what would happen next.

Best in a long time….. It won me over quickly after a doubtful start. The characters are so strong, the loved and the hated ones alike. Everything I needed to do got neglected as I read fervently to the end. A great accidental reading treat.

Stilt girls. Amazing book of a complex, Racial, world in Mississippi, in the 1920’s. Also, how complex, we are as humans. And fragile! I enjoyed the book a good getting to know Matilda and Ada! A great read I couldn’t put down!

A haunting story that grips the heart.. The brutality and judgments on humanity based on race and color, tempered with the support, strength and love of those in the background, who in their hearts, worked endlessly to sow compassion and justice. These who saw through the eyes of God that all life is diverse, beautiful and to be loved. That all life matters. And the description of the swamp was wonderfully descriptive.

Riveting. The character development of each person and the evolving plot makes this story engaging and believable.

Engaging book. I enjoyed the writing style of the author. She balanced the story with expertise considering this is her debut novel The characters were developed and the plot developed slowly and deliberately by end of chapter 1 I was committed to the story

Moving book. This was so interesting and moved along nicely. Couldn’t put it down

Book Great… Narrator Not so Much. The book had a wonderful story, but really wished I’d gotten the book rather than the audiobook. The Narrator was irritating with a particular rhythm that tilted upward at the end of phrases that was terribly annoying.

Extremely Depressing. It was a slow slog through one horrible occurrence after another. There was never any relief in the storyline and the main character never seemed to learn how to survive or learn from her experiences
