Über diesen Titel

'Spiky, clever, funny' – Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters
'Brilliant, propulsive . . . A riot'– Maddie Mortimer, author of Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies
'A delicious gallop through 90s tabloid London' – Sam McAlister, author of Scoops

It’s peak 90s London. Shoulder pads are out, crimped hair is in, supermodels are known by their first names, and Becky Sharp will do anything to escape her past.

From mingling with tabloid millionaires to trading favours and fortunes with royalty, she will stop at nothing to reach the top of the career ladder at the Mercury newspaper. Landing scoop after scoop, Becky ruthlessly carves a place for herself in a society determined to ignore her. These are the biggest stories and scandals of the decade, and she has something to do with every one of them.

But Becky may have more in common with the people she writes about than she thinks – what takes a lifetime to build takes only a moment to destroy . . .

Kritikerstimmen

The luscious draw of the Nineties glitz, the scandal of the press, and the tangibly descriptive jeopardy throughout makes this a <b>true page-turner</b>
<b>Addictive reading</b>, [Becky's] darkness provid[es] welcome relief in these over-bright times
A keenly observed portrait of elite society which skewers snobbery, sexism and celebrity culture . . . <b>A page-turning blockbuster which pulls off its bold premise with panache</b>
<b>Rattles along very enjoyably</b>, as talented Becky sucks up to celebrities and royalty then exploits them ruthlessly for her own ends
<i>Becky </i>is Sarah May&rsquo;s <b>sparkling</b> tribute to William Thackeray&rsquo;s classic novel <i>Vanity Fair</i> . . . <b>entertaining and fast-paced</b>
A <b>scalpel-sharp, visciously funny slice of social comed</b>y fit for our time
<i>Becky</i> by the supremely talented Sarah May is <b>spiky, clever, funny and dark</b> . . . I&rsquo;m riveted (Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters)
A brilliant, propulsive novel crafted with just the kind of roaring wit and striking precision Thackeray himself would commend. <b><i>Becky </i>is a riot, and Sarah May is a genius</b> (Maddie Mortimer, author of Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies)
A delicious gallop through 90s tabloid London
A supple, witty take on the tabloid world and on <i>Vanity Fair</i> (Jo Baker, author of Longbourn)
Sharp, brutally funny, coruscating . . . <i>Becky <b> </b></i>by Sarah May <i><b> </b></i>is . . . a tonic (Sam Baker)
Clever and timely . . . fascinating on the media and power (Terry Stiastny, author of Acts of Omission)
Becky is<b> a darling of the red tops, and a champion of stolen girls.</b> Set against the backdrop of Princess Diana's death, phone tapping scandals and the dripping hot excitement of nineties Britain, <i>Becky</i> is as close to <b>unputdownable as a book could be</b> (Anna Jean Hughes)
