Swing Time

"Swing Time is Zadie Smith’s psychologically precise novel about two brown girls from North London who grow up dreaming of becoming dancers. Few things in life ever quite approach the complexity and power of female friendships. Swing Time truly catches that intimate link, the kind that stays even when years pass, the friendship ends and shared dreams wither on the vine."

"those two continue to haunt me with their humanity and their moral challenge to be good, in the big and small acts of life."

"I loved Zadie Smith's "Swing Time" for its scale and heart and moral ambition and the high-wire act she does (and yet so casually) with language."
