Book Review: Zadie Smith plucks London characters from obscurity for The Fraud

"At the centre is Eliza, a woman not unlike ‘Gentleman Jack’ in terms of her charisma, if not, entirely, her sexuality. She, working from within the constraints of that which is considered ladylike, strives to achieve her own immortality, like George Eliot, through writing."

English novelist Zadie Smith at Redaktion BLAU on November 10, 2016 in Berlin, Germany.
