Show Notes
In this month’s Book Club episode Julia sits down with her good friend, best-selling author Kathy Lette, to discuss The Fraud, by British writer Zadie Smith.
The Fraud is a historical fiction novel set in the Victorian era, centred around a real life London court case - The Tichborne Trial.
England is captivated by the case, in which a man claims to be Sir Roger Tichborne - the heir to a large fortune and long believed dead.
Julia and Kathy delve into the book’s exploration of race, gender, age and beauty, with many laughs along the way!
