The Fraud is a historical novel based on the Tichborne_case written by Zadie Smith and published by Penguin in 2023.[1][2][3][4]
Synopsis
According to The New York Times, Smith's "new novel, 'The Fraud,' is based on a celebrated 19th-century criminal trial, but it keeps one eye focused clearly on today’s political populism."[1] According to the Los Angeles Times, "Not only is [the novel] set in 19th century England with a sprawling cast of characters high and low, but Charles Dickens himself makes an appearance, charming everyone except those who envy his success. But there’s more to this brilliant new entry in Smith’s catalog than a simple literary romp."[4]
