It's been many years since I read a classic, in fact I think the last time was probably in my teens at school, but one of the classics I have never read but kept meaning to was William Makepeace Thackery's Vanity Fair although I have watched various TV and film adaptions over the years including the recent ITV series.
So when I saw that Sarra Manning had written a contemporary re-telling of the book, The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp, I decided to buy a copy to read, although I still haven't managed to find extra hours in the day to read it, and when it was offer bought an extra copy for this giveaway 😉
Beautiful, brilliant, ruthless – nothing can stop Becky Sharp.
Becky Sharp has big dreams and no connections. Determined to swap the gutters of Soho for the glamorous, exclusive world behind the velvet rope, Becky will do anything to achieve fame, riches and status.
Whether it’s seducing society’s most eligible bachelors, or befriending silly debutantes and rich old ladies, Becky Sharp is destined for great things. Because it might be tough at the top but it’s worse at the bottom.
From London to Paris and beyond, Becky Sharp is going places – so get the hell out of her way…
