From the prize-winning author of The Benefactors, Wendy Erskine’s Dance Move is about the hugeness of life as seen through glimpses of the everyday.
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.
