ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Swing Time” by Zadie Smith follows the complex friendship between two girls, the narrator and Tracey, who bond over their shared love of dance. As they grow older, their paths diverge due to differences in race, class, and ambition. The novel explores themes of identity, friendship, race, class, and the impact of privilege, with dance serving as a metaphor for control and freedom. Through the characters’ lives, Smith delves into the challenges of pursuing dreams, navigating personal and systemic inequalities, and reconciling one’s past with present choices. The story is a reflection on self-discovery and societal expectations.
