Tempted to give it a 5, we'll see how it holds up when I've thought about it a bit more. But easily Smith's best since White Teeth, perhaps even better.
A novel about and of dance; big structures and everyday moments captured mid-movement, in positions that could never be held statically without falling over, but constantly propelled by their own movement and a polyrhythm stretched across three continents. A hell of a novel.
