The Fraud (Hardback) by Zadie Smith

The Fraud (Hardback) by Zadie Smith

The Fraud marks a bold and compelling new direction for acclaimed author Zadie Smith. Set in 19th-century London and based on real historical events, the novel explores themes of identity, truth, and justice through the lens of the sensational Tichborne Trial. At the heart of the story is Mrs. Eliza Touchet—a sharp, skeptical housekeeper entangled in literary circles, political unrest, and a case that questions what it truly means to belong. With her signature wit and intellectual insight, Smith weaves a layered narrative that challenges conventional histories and gives voice to those written out of them.

Perfect for fans of literary historical fiction and readers who appreciate sharp commentary on class, race, and authenticity.
