Swing Time: A Novel

A New York Times Best Seller, Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, and Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Swing Time is an ambitious, exuberant new novel moving from North West London to West Africa, from the multi-award-winning author of White Teeth and On Beauty. The story moves from London to West Africa, where diaspora tourists travel back in time to find their roots, young men risk their lives to escape into a different future, and the origins of a profound inequality are not a matter of distant history, but a present dance to the music of time.
