Teaser Tuesdays: Keeping the House Keeping the House by Ellen Baker p. 88

"The ballroom was hot-packed with soldiers and girls, swirling, turning, swinging, stomping, to music as glint-bright as the trumpets, trombones, saxophones, of the band on the red-spangled stage under blazing lights. More than one of the uniformed boys was inclined to life his partner above his head, then swing her down suddenly, legs knifing between his legs, then just as quickly lift her up face-to-face again, his smile bright in her vision."

This is in 1943 during WWII. I can almost hear the bank and see the dancers dong the jitterbug or the swing. It's such a visual description. 
Oh lovely! I can hear the music too. And after reading your full review, I went to Amazon to check the book out. It was offered for $1.99. I snatched it up. :-)
