I have been lucky with the Goodreads giveaways lately. In the last few weeks I have won 5 books. These two arrived in the mail today. I am excited to read and review them.

3/25/26 I wanted to like this book so much and just didn't (except for 13% of it). Here's my Goodreads review:
Historical fiction anchored by a real story? Yes, always. With an element of Jamaican history within? Obviously. A celebrated author whose work I've never read before? Of course. It sounds like it should have been a grand slam, but unfortunately, The Fraud was another disappointing dud on my 2026 list. It's another beefy one at 454 pages, and once again, I plodded through hoping it would get good.
In this case, it did indeed pick up in Volume Six, pages 243-302, but was only riveting for those pages. The rest of the book had me screaming WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT over and over in my mind.
Our primary narrator, Mrs. Touchet, is the Scottish housekeeper of William Ainsworth, a once successful novelist who's now creeping towards irrelevancy (and in reality, perhaps never had true talent). They're also cousins by marriage. The narrative timeline pinballs around quite a bit, hence the constant WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, but thankfully many of the chapter titles do indicate a year. (Also, thankfully, the chapters are all very short.)
Along with the rest of England, William's second wife, Sarah, is riveted by the Tichborne case. While the observations and meditations on class, status, and education begin the moment Sarah enters the story, they're amplified to include colonization and slavery during the chapters about the trial and Andrew Bogle. Andrew Bogle was a Jamaican slave on the Hope Estate in St. Andrew, Jamaica as well as a trusted valet to the Tichborne family.
The section that I loved, Volume Six, pages 243-302, was all about Andrew's personal and family history in Jamaica. From his father's kidnapping from Africa to being born a slave on the Hope Estate, Andrew's story was rich and alive as opposed to the non-linear, indirect, buttoned-up British narrative of Mrs. Touchet.
Of course, there are delightful nuggets throughout, but doing the math shows that I loved just 13% of this book. Cool.
