Vanity Fair

The brilliant anti-heroine Becky Sharp will stop at nothing to rise to the highest echelons of society and is completely different from her wealthy, kind-hearted schoolmate, Amelia Sedley. Their intertwined lives are filled with love, desire, marriage, wealth, and loss, as they navigate the corrupt world of upper-class Regency England.
