Evie Grace
Devlin has never had what she has always wanted. Love, friends and family she
can rely on. In 1932, when hardship strikes, Evie is led into a world of dance
marathons while trying to be a nurse. She does what she must, to survive. Will
Evie find everything she has been looking for or will it lead her down a path
she can not come back from?
This novel
by Sara Bird was a look into the past when dance marathons were the rage during
the depression. The story is full of
intricate and complex characters that come together to do what they must in
order to survive. It gives the reader such an in depth look into how people
lived and worked in the thirties. While I found the history interesting, I had
a hard time grasping some of the decisions Evie made and could not warm up to
her character. It was a good book for the genre in which it was written though,
which I enjoyed. St. Martin’s Press generously gifted me a copy of the book in
exchange for my unbiased opinion. I'm rating this one at four stars.
