Review

"'A modern day Vanity Fair... brilliantly done' Mail on Sunday; 'With her customary understanding and compassion, Buchan nudges [Tess and Becky] towards the recognition of what really matters when the chips are down. A satisfyingly easy but never facile read' Daily Telegraph; 'She refreshes the parts other writers don't know about' Daily Mail"

A satisfyingly easy but never facile read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern-day Vanity Fair, 12 May 2002
This is a deliberate reworking of Thackeray's Vanity Fair. In this version Becky Sharp (still called Becky) is a city whizz-kid of the eighties- clever, beautiful and amoral- while Amelia (now called Tess) falls in love with a man who marries her but doesn't love her. Elizabeth Buchan draws some clever parallels between the eighties and the Regency (when Vanity Fair was originally set)and this novel has the same sharpness and unsentimentality as Thackeray's masterpiece.
