Book Synopsis

The Imposters is the first novel in stories that Tom Rachman has written since his international bestseller The Imperfectionists.

''An astonishing achievement - brutally funny, humane, dizzying - will win Rachman the readership he deserves'' Patrick Gale
''Easily the best thing I have read in ages'' Rebecca Wait

But like a twenty-first century Scheherazade Dora spins stories to fend off the evil day, conjuring connections from her past to give meaning to the present. She imagines the fate of her missing brother, lost on the hippie trail in India in
