Meet Becky Sharp, a young woman born with every disadvantage and a firm determination to take Georgian society by storm - whatever the cost. As Becky climbs the greasy pole, pretty, rich Amelia Sedley is sliding inexorably towards ruin. The women’s paths cross and recross, but can they save themselves from disaster or will they be each other’s destruction? Kate Hamill’s exuberant version of this classic tale is as witty and unorthodox as its irrepressible heroine.
