This novel is based on the true story of the author's relationship with a charming imposter. Under a guise of empathy and adoration, a Dutch 'academic' enters her life, only to benefit financially from her generosity and grief over the loss of her daughter. Following his abrupt departure, evidence leads Anni to other women around the world similarly misled by the con artist. They began to blog - with wisdom, wit, feistiness and resilience - about his web of deceit.
