Bildungsroman, Nostalgie
Whilst on his work experience placement, teenager Lee must stay with a complete stranger, while a former pop star receives an unexpected invitation to perform an old hit.
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. In these stories 鈥� as in real life 鈥� the funny, the tender and the devastating go hand in hand. Full of warmth, the familiar and the strange, they are about what it means to live in today鈥檚 world, how far you can end up from where you came from, and what it means to look back.
