Dance Move / Wendy Erskine

Meet Drew Earl Haig, called upon to sing the obscure hit from his youth at a paramilitary event. Or Max, who recalls an eventful journey to a Christian film festival. Meet Mrs Dallesandro, in the tanning salon on her wedding anniversary, dreaming of a teenage sexual experience. And Sonya, who scours the streets of Belfast for the missing posters of her dead son. In Dance Move, the new collection of stories from Wendy Erskine, we meet characters who are looking to wrest control of their lives, only to find themselves defined by the moment in their past that marked them. Filled with warmth, and laced with the familiar and the strange, these stories are about what it means to live in the world, how far you can end up from where you came from, and what it means to look back.
