Vanity Fair: A Novel Without a Hero Stewart, J. and Thackeray, William

**Vanity Fair: A Novel Without a Hero** - because who needs heroes when you've got Becky Sharp? This deliciously wicked Victorian classic follows the cunning social climber as she schemes her way through 19th-century English society, alongside sweet but naive Amelia Sedley. Thackeray's satirical genius skewers class pretensions, money obsession, and social climbing with razor-sharp wit that feels surprisingly modern.

Perfect for fans of historical fiction, social satire, or anyone who enjoys watching morally questionable characters cause chaos. If you loved *Bridgerton* or *The Great*, you'll adore Thackeray's scandalous world of balls, bankruptcies, and barely-concealed backstabbing.

This preloved gem from Patina Paperbacks proves that classic literature doesn't have to be stuffy - it can be gossipy, funny, and utterly addictive.

**Reader Reviews:**
"Becky Sharp is absolutely terrible and I couldn't stop rooting for her. Five stars for pure entertainment!"

"Finally, a Victorian novel that doesn't bore me to tears. Thackeray writes like he invented reality TV."
