Bestselling author Zadie Smith joins us to discuss her acclaimed first historical novel, set against the real-life Victorian scandal of the Tichborne Claimant. Spanning literary London and Jamaica’s sugar-cane plantations, The Fraud is a brilliant, witty exploration of truth, identity, class and who gets to tell their story, featuring Hurstpierpoint locations.
Zadie will be in conversation with Peter Guttridge, followed by book-signing. Copies of The Fraud will be on sale and there will be a bar.
Presented in partnership with Cuckfield bookfest.
