The fraud / Zadie Smith.

Smith, Zadie, (author.).

Summary:

"It is 1873. Mrs. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish housekeeper - and a woman of many interests. Andrew Bogle grew up enslaved on the Hope Plantation, Jamaica. When Bogle finds himself in London, star witness in a celebrated case of imposture, he knows his future depends on telling the right story. The "Tichborne Trial" - wherein a lower-class butcher from Australia claimed he was in fact the rightful heir of a sizable estate and title - captivates Mrs. Touchet and all of England. In a world of hypocrisy and self-deception, deciding what is real proves a complicated task."--Provided by the publisher.
