This is an American coming of age novel set during the Depression Era. It explains how hard people worked to make a living and the dreams they had to live better. The memorable establishments called the Bon Ton Hat Shop, Bauer’s Chop Shop and Delaney’s Saloon and Billiard Parlor are true to the era and the characters are well-rounded and very human. Dawn Powell had 13 books published in her lifetime and she considered Dance Night, published in 1930, to be her best work. I have to agree that this book is memorable and it leaves me with a sense of longing to read more of Dawn Powell's books. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It is sometime after the turn of the century in Lamptown, Ohio, a working-class town filled with factory girls. Every Thursday night women and a few men gather to escape their pedestrian lives in fantasy, and sometimes to live out these fantasies. Observing all are the novel's two young protagonists, Morry, who dreams of becoming an architect and developer, and Jen, an unsentimental orphan of fourteen who, abandoned by her mother, dreams of escape.

Morry and Jenn sat on the stairs and talked about their dreams, what they'd do when they grew up. Morry's mom dreamed of the dancing instructor taking her in his arms, and morry's travelling-salesman Father came home every three months and ruined the peace. ( )
