An Australian literary hoaxer, Chubb is carting around a manuscript likely filled with deceit. In this dubious work Sarah recognises a real genius. But whose genius? She is drawn into a fantastic story of imposture, murder, kidnapping, and exile, which couldn't be true unless its teller were mad. Or perhaps haunted. \u003ci\u003eMy Life as a Fake\u003c\/i\u003e is a Frankenstein story in which what is imagined comes to life and exacts its due.","brand":"Ships in 4 to 7 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41699372597406,"sku":"UBD-9781760896553","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9781760896553.jpg?v=1653300081","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/my-life-as-a-fake","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
