This book is a collection of five short stories, each very different but with central theme of all of them desire and how it manifests itself in different ways. Each story is set in a different location and range in time from pre-second World War to the present day. Although I enjoyed all of the stories, there were a couple that stood out to me and I would have liked these to continue, so I could find out more about the characters and what they did next. Overall, this is a really enjoyable book and is nice and easy to dip in and out of, by reading a story at a time. I would really recommend this book.

Dancing with the Devil is a collection of five short stories exploring the theme of desire, its manifestations and outcomes. Ranging in time from the late 1930s to the present day, the locations vary between England, France and the Russo-Polish border. In these diverse settings the stories explore the nature of personal relationships and how they are sometimes tested and exploited. And, as events unfold, the characters are not always what they seem. Propelled by the infinite complexity of human emotions, they are drawn inexorably into a web of desire, obsession, duplicity and revenge.

By no means a natural student , David left school aged fifteen with no academic qualifications, and none since. After a brief spell as an office boy in London, he astounded his employers by leaving to become an assistant gamekeeper on the edge of the New Forest. Here a propensity for ...
