A review by nuhafariha
The Fraud by Zadie Smith

4.0

I'll say this is not my favorite Zadie Smith novel. However, I do not think the book necessarily deserves the bad reviews it has been receiving. To me, Smith was trying to mimic the form of the Victorian era novel while also critiquing its vapid presentation. I especially enjoyed the end of the novel where we get to see the protagonist, Eliza, actively challenged in her role as a white woman feminist by Henry, Bogle's son.
