In this month’s Book Club episode Julia sits down with her good friend, best-selling author Kathy Lette, to discuss The Fraud*, *by British writer Zadie Smith.

England is captivated by the case, in which a man claims to be Sir Roger Tichborne - the heir to a large fortune and long believed dead. 

Julia and Kathy delve into the book’s exploration of race, gender, age and beauty, with many laughs along the way!
