Deliciously droll, this wicked satire lampoons England's upper crust and their single-minded pursuit of riches. Reflecting his own family's tumultuous history, Thackeray's sprawling tale follows the ebbs and flows of two classic literary heroines: rich Becky, poor Amelia. A leisurely read, richly flavored with period detail, from Waterloo to the struggles of the Anglo-Indian society.
