Meet Drew Lord Haig, called on to sing an obscure hit from his youth at a paramilitary event. Meet Max as he recalls an eventful journey to a Christian film festival. And Mrs Dallesandro who dreams of being a teenager again as she sits in a tanning salon on her wedding anniversary. In these stories, Erskine's characters' wishes and hopes often fall short of their grasp. Brilliantly drawn, <i>Dance Move</i> is about the hugeness of life as seen through glimpses of the everyday.<br><br><b>'A masterpiece' - David Keenan, author of <i>Monument Maker</i><br><br>'Wendy Erskine's debut, <i>Sweet Home</i>, was pitch perfect . . . <i>Dance Move </i>is equally brilliant' - <i>The Daily Mail</i><br><br>'Erskine's stories open slight, but they contain more than it seems possible for short stories to contain' - Keith Ridgway, author of <i>Hawthorn &amp; Child</i></b><br><br><b>'She isn&rsquo;t just one of the leading writers of short fiction at work today but one of the leading writers, period.' - Matt Rowland Hill, author of <i>Original Sins</i></b><br><br><b>As Read on BBC Radio 4<br>Shortlisted for the Edge Hill Prize<br>Shortlisted for the An Post Irish Book Awards Short Story of the Year<br><i>The Irish Times</i> Books of the Year 2022</b></p>
