They meet at a community dance class and dream of being dancers, but only one of them has the talent. The blurb told us it was a tale of “friendships that anchor us, define us and change us forever”, but do we feel that line adequately explained what the book was about? As with any Zadie Smith novel, this one came with hype: her clever observations, the depth of her characters, the nuance in her words. There is simply so. Much. To. Unpack.Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss Swing Time’s structure, the standout characters, and the bits in the book that didn’t quite land.Grab a copy of next month’s book club pick, New Animal by Ella Baxter, via our affiliate link here.Got some thoughts on our June pick, New Animal by Ella Baxter?
