Two brown girls dream of being dancers - but only one, Tracey, has talentThe other has ideas: about rhythm and time, black bodies and black music, what it means to belong, what it means to be free. It''s a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten either.

Bursting with energy, rhythm and movement, Swing Time is Zadie Smith''s most ambitious novel yetIt is a story about music and identity, race and class, those who follow the dance and those who lead it . . .
