À propos de cet audio

Vanity Fair, with its rich cast of characters, takes place on the snakes-and-ladders board of life. Amelia Sedley, daughter of a wealthy merchant, has a loving mother to supervise her courtship. Becky Sharp, an orphan, has to use her wit, charm, and resourcefulness to escape from her destiny as a governess. This she does ruthlessly, musing: "I think I could become a good woman, if I had £5,000 a year."

Thackeray’s story is set at the time of the battle of Waterloo, in which the Sedley fortunes are lost - and Amelia is back to square one - while Becky rises with contemptuous ease.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Georgina Sutton gave life to all the characters -- easily done with Becky, perhaps -- and kept me entertained and curious for the entire book. Her voice had just the right level of nuance for a story that is not quite as deep as Eliot or Bronte but still thought-provoking on the topics of gender and transaction.

Wonderful performance!
