Lord Byron was the greatest writer and most notorious, scandalous
lover of his age an irresistible attraction for a sheltered,
bookish, and passionate young woman like Eliza Esmond. Eliza
believes she's met Byron on the doorstep of his publisher, and that
her dreams have come true when he arranges to meet her in secret.
But what if the man she believes to be Byron is someone else a
look-alike named John Polidori, who once toured Europe as Byron's
doctor? And if Polidori is the true author of a wildly successful
book everyone believes to have been written by Byron, who is the
real imposter? Stylish, subtle, and seductive, "Imposture" is about
ambition, fantasy, the power of artistic greatness, and the
consequences of celebrity by a gifted novelist of true talent.
