Swing Time

by Zadie Smith
Based in London, New York and Africa it follows the fortunes of an unnamed narrator and her relationship with her parents, her pop superstar boss and her childhood friend, Tracey.
The parts looking back to her childhood worked really well and resonated with me but it then seemed to lose its way. The big revelations in the book were not so great and the ending felt rushed and didn't quite work for me. The nameless narrator became quite forgettable. 6/10
