Two girls leave Miss Pinkerton's academy: gentle, wealthy Amelia Sedley and penniless, clever Becky Sharp, who sets out to climb English society by any means. Their lives run through the Napoleonic Wars and Waterloo, with a narrator who openly comments on the puppet show. A satire on money, class and social climbing.
