'One of the greats' - Lucy Caldwell
'Comic brilliance' - Sinead Gleeson
'Ingenious' - The Irish Times
'Daring, funny, heartbreaking' - Observer

Following the prize-winning Sweet Home, Wendy Erskine's Belfast is once again illuminated. 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, Dance Move is about the hugeness of life as seen through glimpses of the everyday.

'A masterpiece' - David Keenan
'Wendy Erskine's debut, Sweet Home, was pitch perfect . . . Dance Move is equally brilliant' - The Daily Mail
'Erskine's stories open slight, but they contain more than it seems possible for short stories to contain' - Keith Ridgway
'She isn'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 Original Sins
