OF SARAH JESSICA PARKER’S BEST BOOKS OF 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE
WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 2024‘A writer at the peak
of her powers’ The TelegraphTruth and fiction. Jamaica and Britain.
Who gets to tell their story?In her first historical novel, Zadie
Smith transports the reader to a Victorian England transfixed by
the real-life trial of the Tichborne Claimant, in which a cockney
butcher, recently returned from Australia, lays claim to the
Tichborne baronetcy, with his former slave Andrew Bogle as star
witness.Watching the proceedings, and with her own story to tell,
is Eliza Touchet – cousin, housekeeper and perhaps more – to
failing novelist William Harrison Ainsworth. From literary London
to the Jamaica’s sugar-cane plantations, Zadie Smith weaves an
enthralling story linking the rich and the poor, the free and the
enslaved, and the comic and the tragic. ‘It’s difficult to give any
idea of how extraordinary this book is.One of the great historical
novels, certainly. But has any historical novel ever combined such
brilliantly researched and detailed history with such intensely
imagined fiction?' Michael Frayn‘As always it is a pleasure to be
in Zadie Smith’s mind . .. Dickens may be dead, but Smith,
thankfully, is alive’ New York Times‘Zadie Smith’s Victorian-set
masterpiece holds a mirror up to Britain . .. The Fraud is the
genuine article’ Independent‘Smith’s dazzling historical novel
combines deft writing and strenuous construction in a tale of
literary London and the horrors of slavery’ Guardian
