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!
