Beschreibung
Becky Sharp is determined. Determined to get away from the dead-end town where she grew up, determined to make a place for herself in high society, and determined to reach the top of the career ladder. And she doesn't care how many lives she ruins in the process.

Set in 90s tabloid-era London, Becky charts the rise and fall of a very modern heroine as she inveigles her way into the highest society, where tabloid millionaires mingle and trade favours and fortunes with royalty and aristocracy, pushes her way up through the ranks at the Mercury newspaper with manipulative scoop after scoop, and eventually orchestrates her own dramatic downfall. These are some of the biggest news stories and scandals of the last few decades, and Becky seems to have something to do with every one of them . . .

In this viciously funny, darkly entertaining and ultimately moving read, the much-loved classic Vanity Fair finds itself in 90s London, and Becky couldn't be a more perfect fit. For fans of Curtis Sittenfeld's Eligible, Becky by Sarah May is impossible to put down.
