Swing Time is a novel about two childhood friends whose lives diverge—one becomes a dancer, the other an assistant to a pop star. Spanning London and West Africa, it explores friendship, race, and ambition with Smith’s trademark wit and nuance. A rich, layered narrative, it’s a meditation on performance and identity. Published by Penguin Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House, it’s a standout in her catalog.
