ISBN:  9780525558965 (hardcover) : 0525558969 (hardcover) Description:  454 pages ; 25 cm Requests:  6 Summary:  "It is 1873. Mrs. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish housekeeper--and cousin by marriage--of a once-famous novelist, now in decline, William Ainsworth, with whom she has lived for thirty years. Mrs. Touchet is a woman of many interests: literature, justice, abolitionism, class, her cousin, his wives, this life and the next. But she is also skeptical. She suspects her cousin of having no talent; his successful friend, Mr. Charles Dickens, of being a bully and a moralist; and England of being a land of facades, in which nothing is quite what it seems. Andrew Bogle, meanwhile, grew up enslaved on the Hope Plantation, Jamaica. He knows every lump of sugar comes at a human cost. That the rich deceive the poor. And that people are more easily manipulated than they realize. When Bogle finds himself in London, star witness in a celebrated case of imposture, he knows his future depends on telling the right story. The "Tichborne Trial"--wherein a lower-class butcher from Australia claimed he was in fact the rightful heir of a sizable estate and title--captivates Mrs. Touchet and all of England. Is Sir Roger Tichborne really who he says he is? Or is he a fraud? Mrs. Touchet is a woman of the world. Mr. Bogle is no fool. But in a world of hypocrisy and self-deception, deciding what is real proves a complicated task"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Smith Transit   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Smith Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Smith Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Smith Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Smith Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Smith Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books Smith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
