The Pretender
Based on a true story, Morrissy's second novel is a fictional history of Polish woman Franziska Schanzkowska who, after a failed suicide attempt in 1920s Berlin and two years spent in silence in an asylum, resurfaced to claim to be Anastasia, the fourth daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. Only after her death in 1984 DNA tests establish that she could not have been a Romanov. Who, then, was this mysterious woman, who lived a lie and convinced so many others of her fictional identity?
