Last Dance on the Starlight Pier by Sarah Bird
4.0
This was an unique and interesting take on the Great Depression era. I have not read a ton of books based around The Great
Depression so this was a nice change from the WWll historical fictions I often read. This novel focuses on dance marathons in both Chicago and Galveston and the dedication the dancers go through to keep their roofs over their heads. The dance marathons gives them a shimmer of hope during a dark and depressing time. It mainly follows Evie, who goes back to the dancing circuit after her nursing career failed. I found the story to be very fascinating and it was easy to get caught up in their world. The narration was done well too.
