The Impersonators (1980) is a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel[1] by Australian author Jessica Anderson.

The novel details Sylvia Foley's return to Australia after having lived in England for twenty years.

Having come to the conclusion that worldly possessions and marriage are the main stumbling blocks to achieving freedom, Sylvia returns to find each of her Australian relatives bound by both constraints, making them "impersonators."

Hope Hewitt, in The Canberra Times, found a lot to like about the novel but ultimately stated: "I cannot rate this book quite as high as its predecessor: it is hard to get into; the problem of family relationships bedevils personal ones.

But then it is working on a much more ambitious scale, exploring a vast theme within a complex and splendidly-realised group of Australian figures.
