The understated yet distinctive sensibility first showcased in her 2018 debut collection, Sweet Home, is well honed in this impressive follow-up. Review QuoteWendy Erskine is the greatest short story writer of her generation. Dance Move is a masterpiece. Review Quote No one writes the bare-knuckle crossroads of and class like Wendy Erskine! Review QuoteThe stories are never sentimental, nor do they strain credulity. What grounds them is Erskine’s distinctive style: she is a great noticer, with an eye for microscopic detail, and pays close attention to the syntax and cadences of ordinary conversation. . . She is also extremely funny. Review Quote A spectacular feat in the short story form . . . Erskine’s Dance Move has such a beautiful deftness of touch that in writing the intricacies and intimacies between people in their most vulnerable moments, there is a tenderness felt by the reader which surpasses words.' Review QuoteThe people that inhabit Wendy Erskine’s stories are not merely ‘characters’, but instead are living, breathing entities whose lives, you feel, continue beyond the page. Few writers achieve this depth of human understanding so succinctly, and to read Dance Move is to step into their shadowed worlds. It also cements her status as simply one of the very best short story writers around. Review Quote Dance Move is a triumph, each story so perfectly formed, each character vividly set and startling. I could not put this book down and loved every page. Wendy Erskine is a profound and ingenious story teller, a magnificent writer of the highest calibre. Review QuoteErskine's stories open slight, but they contain more than it seems possible for short stories to contain. Their warmth and depth - even in their depictions of lives that are cold, or shallow, or hopelessly adrift - is testament not only to Erskine's unparalleled skill as a writer of short stories, but also to her humanity. Her characters are astonishingly alive. They rise off the pages of Dance Move and they lodge in the heart, and stay there. Review QuoteThere are few short story writers I look forward to reading as much as Wendy Erskine. Humane, funny, surprising, profound; in Dance Move she does it all. Review Quote Daring, funny, heartbreaking . . . not to be missed Review Quote So funny and so moving. Erskine's writing is like gentle razor blades, carving blissfully through to the real. Review Quote Dance Move is the most consummate book of short stories I know. Review Quote No one is writing better stories than Wendy Erskine. Review Quote I dered if Dance Move . . . could possibly surpass Erskine’s debut Sweet Home. It does. Review QuoteWendy Erskine is like Vermeer, I think. In the same way that supposedly ordinary people and places are illuminated by Vermeer in a way that is technically flawless, but also imbued with something extra that can’t be extracted from the whole. I do think it is genius really, in the both of them. Review QuoteWendy Erskine’s debut, Sweet Home, was pitch perfect . . . Dance Move is equally brilliant; set in Belfast and brimful of well drawn, compelling characters, these spare, spacious stories pack an emotional punch Review Quote Erskine’s pitch is close to perfect, and as a chronicler of the human condition, she has the most penetrating gaze. Review Quote If there’s a sharper, brighter, truer, funnier, more compelling, more intensely and rewardingly attentive storyteller around I’d like to know who. Review Quote Exhilarating . . . a vivacious sweep of characters . . . the turn of events ingenious . . . Review QuoteA remarkable revelation of the everyday extraordinary. Erskine has shown us how the banal can also be epic in its compassion and understated raw beauty. This is a book that carries with it a quiet joy, a reminder of the intensity of life, even at its most quotidian. Review Quote Superb Review QuoteStorytelling that is both compelling and original . . .
