Vanity Fair




THE CLASSIC NOVEL WHICH INSPIRED THE MAJOR ITV SERIES FROM THE MAKERS OF POLDARK AND VICTORIA

'I think I could be a good woman if I had five thousand a year'


Becky Sharp is a poor orphan when she first makes friends with the lovely Amelia Sedley at Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies. She may not have the natural advantages of her companion but she more than makes up for it with her wit, charm, deviousness and determination to make a success of herself in the world, whatever the cost. Vanity Fair is the story of anti-hero Becky's spectacular rise and fall as she gambles, manipulates and seduces her way through high society against the backdrop of Waterloo and the Napoleonic wars.
