Old Metairie Perfect Cup of Tea Book Club
Advertisement
The October selection for the Perfect Cup of Tea Book Club is The Fraud by acclaimed and bestselling novelist Zadie Smith. This kaleidoscopic work of historical fiction is set against the legal trial that divided Victorian England, about who gets to tell their story—and who gets to be believed
The “Tichborne Trial”of 1873—wherein a lower-class butcher from Australia claimed he was in fact the rightful heir of a sizable estate and title—captivated all of England. Is Sir Roger Tichborne really who he says he is? Or is he a fraud?
Tea and coffee are served at 2 pm and the discussion gets underway at 2:30pm. Please bring your own mug.
