Books
by William Makepiece Thackeray
|
Vanity Fair |
I have to confess I have been putting off reading this. The thought of Becky Sharp has always made me reluctant. What a mistake. Sprawling, vivid, full of characters this is a brilliant book to read. This is not least because of Thackeray's own voice, because he is there all the time, commenting on his characters and on the human condition with humour and wit. And Becky . . . well she seduces everyone.
