Join Miami native Susanna Daniel for the Stiltsville Soiree – a Book Club Mini Mixer event in honor of Daniel’s acclaimed debut novel, Stiltsville (Harper, $24.99). Daniel has written a rich story, full of vivid characters and those spot-on details that make people and places come alive, especially so here in Miami as her story charts the course of our town’s maturation, along with that of main characters Frances and Dennis and their marriage. There are the still waters of daily life and the ferocious winds of Hurricane Andrew. Stiltsville is the sort of book that book clubs really sink their teeth into – full of the small details that have huge impact. And along with great discussion with Susanna about the Stiltsville and writing and reading, there will be free Galley Giveaways of other worthy books, true book club literature, great reads.

What would you do if the love of your life, and all your memories, were lost – only to reappear – but with such shocking revelations that you wish you had never remembered? Mark Mustian has written a remarkable novel about the power of memory-and the ability of people, individually and collectively, to forget in The Gendarme (Putnam, $25.95) . Emmett Conn is an old man, near the end of his life. A World War I veteran, he's been affected by memory loss since being injured during the war. In Emmett's dreams he's a gendarme, escorting Armenians from Turkey. A young woman among them, Araxie, captivates and enthralls him. But then the trek ends, the war separates them. He is injured. Seven decades later, as his grasp on the boundaries between past and present begins to break down, Emmett sets out on a final journey, to find Araxie and beg her forgiveness. Depicting how love can transcend nationalities, politics, and religion, how racism creates divisions where none truly exist, and how the human spirit fights to survive even in the face of hopelessness, is a transcendent novel. Presented in collaboration with the Florida Psychoanalytic Society. 8pm
