Two mixed-race girls meet at a dance class in north-west London and dream of being dancers, but only one of them has talent. Their friendship ends abruptly in their twenties, and the narrator's life takes her from London to West Africa as assistant to a pop star. A rich novel about friendship, race, class and roots.
