by Elizabeth Buchan (Author)
A modern-day take on Vanity Fair, exploring love, money, and ambition in contemporary England.
Life is a risk, however much we try to protect ourselves... Unlike the Frants, living quietly in Appleford, Tess and Becky believe they can have it all. As highflyers in London's high-finance world, they navigate opportunists, short-termists, and the very rich, facing choices about love, money, and children.
As different generations grapple with life's challenges, a tender love story emerges alongside a journey to maturity in this bold novel. For readers who enjoy character-driven stories set against the backdrop of ambition and social class.
