  <default_description>Brat Farrar has been carefully coached to assume the identity of Patrick Ashby, heir to the Ashby fortune who disappeared when he was 13. Just when it seems that Brat will pull off the deception, he discovers the truth about Patrick's disappearance, a dark secret that threatens to tear apart the family and jeopardize Brat's carefully laid plans. Called &quot;the best of its kind&quot; by the &lt;I&gt;New Yorker&lt;/I&gt;, Josephine Tey's classic is a tale of unrelenting suspense and tension.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[very smart mystery/family study of an english family and interloper who pretends to be a long-lost member for the inheritence. which is an incredibly reductive statement and the book is really so much more. the only trouble with reading classics like that is that a billion books/tv shows/etc. have r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70551667">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wonderful British mystery around the classic theme of the look-alike. Nothing much really happens -at least not in the usual sense associated with a suspense story- yet it's unstoppable and greatly entertaining. Tey writes in a wonderful classic (and very British) way, and her characters are quite v...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38206948">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Brat Farrar</em> isn't merely a mystery, or a family drama, or a novel about postwar England ... it's all three, a mystery that is more interested in its setting and relationships, about a boy who eventually finds a place he belongs.<br/><br/>So highly recommended I'm not sure what else to say.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great exploration of the nature of identity.  The mystery side of this is weak and the reader does not end up getting the &quot;how&quot; solved by the end of the book though the &quot;who&quot; is evident from early on.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[First saw this on Masterpiece Theater in the 80's and just had to read the book.  Love both versions. <br/>I love that the book is simple- not into all the gore to scare, just a good &quot;who done it&quot;]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Let's say four-and-a-half stars for Brat Farrar, the second Josephine Tey book I've read.  She has a wonderful way of keeping track of the subtext for you, so that a character doesn't simply do something but has another character make sense of the intention at the same time.  Yet the writing comes a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31083341">more...</a>]]></body>
