«La impostura» is the historical novel by Zadie Smith, published by Salamandra in paperback with flaps (480 pages, in Spanish).
In 1873 London, Eliza Touchet, housekeeper to a declining Victorian novelist, follows with fascination the trial of Sir Roger Tichborne, a missing heir who reappears claiming his fortune. The case divides the city and leads Eliza to investigate Andrew Bogle, a witness born into slavery in Jamaica whose testimony could decide the trial. The novel weaves together truth, fiction, and the colonial legacy of the British Empire.
