Spiky, clever, funny’ Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters
‘A Vanity Fair for the mass-media age’ - The Guardian
‘A true page-turner’ – The Independent


It’s peak 90s London. Scandal dominates the headlines, men dominate the board rooms, and Becky Sharp will stop at nothing to reach the top at the Mercury newspaper.

Mingling with tabloid millionaires and trading favours with royalty, Becky lands scoop after scoop, ruthlessly carving a place for herself in a world determined to ignore her. These are the biggest stories of the decade, and Becky 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 . . .

Darkly entertaining, Sarah May’s Becky charts the rise and fall of an unforgettable heroine.

Sarah May is the author of Becky, The Nudist Colony (shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and winner of the Amazon Bursary), Spanish City (shortlisted for the Encore Award), The Internationals (longlisted for the Women’s Prize) and the bestselling Rise and Fall of the Queen of Suburbia. She also teaches creative writing at Faber Academy and has mentored many brilliant new voices in fiction. Sarah lives in Sussex and, when she isn’t writing and teaching, works with her partner taking Shakespeare to young people and places the Bard hasn’t been before.
