I think I could be a good woman if I had five thousand a year. Becky
Sharp
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 whatever the cost. Vanity Fair is the story of
Becky s rise and fall as she gambles, manipulates and seduces her way
through high society and the Napoleonic wars."
