Swing Time is an exuberant novel by Zadie Smith set between North West London and West Africa. The story follows two brown girls who dream of being dancers, but only one has talent. The other has ideas about rhythm, time, black bodies and black music, and what it means to belong and be free. It is a close but complicated friendship that ends abruptly when they are in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either. A story about music and identity, race and class, those who follow the dance and those who lead it.
