The fraud / Zadie Smith. by Smith, Zadie. Random House Large Print, 2023. Call #: LP FICTION SMI Subjects Doughty-Tichborne, Roger Charles, 1829-1854 -- Fiction.   Fraud -- Fiction.   Housekeepers -- Fiction.   Impostors and imposture -- Fiction.   Novelists -- Fiction.   Trials (Impostors and imposture) -- Fiction.   London (England) -- History -- 19th century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780593792643 (large print pbk.) Description:  577 p. (large print) ; 23 cm. Notes:  "A novel"--Cover. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "It is 1873. Mrs. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish housekeeper -- and cousin by marriage -- of a once-famous novelist, now in decline, William Ainsworth, with whom she has lived for thirty years. Mrs. Touchet is a woman of many interests: literature, justice, abolitionism, class, her cousin, his wives, this life and the next. But she is also sceptical. She suspects her cousin of having no talent; his successful friend, Mr. Charles Dickens, of being a bully and a moralist; and England of being a land of facades, in which nothing is quite what it seems. Andrew Bogle, meanwhile, grew up enslaved on the Hope Plantation, Jamaica. He knows every lump of sugar comes at a human cost. That the rich deceive the poor. And that people are more easily manipulated than they realize. 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. Is Sir Roger Tichborne really who he says he is? Or is he a fraud? Mrs. Touchet is a woman of the world. Mr. Bogle is no fool. But in a world of hypocrisy and self-deception, deciding what is real proves a complicated task"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Historical fiction. Biographical fiction.
