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 Checked out 05/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Smith Checked out 05/02/2024 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 out 04/30/2024 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 04/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Smith Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Smith Checked out 04/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books Smith Item being held   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
