It is immediately clear that Lily is not who she claims to be.

Why has she left and where did she go? It's up to the daughter Lily abandoned to find the answers to these questions, as she searches for the mother she may never truly know, in "The Imposter Bride "by Nancy Richler.*Winner of the Canadian Jewish Book Award*Short-listed for the 2012 Giller Prize
