Thackeray's 'novel without a hero' follows the lives of two friends, Amelia Sedley and Becky Sharp. Amelia comes from a wealthy family but her father is made bankrupt. She marries George Osborne, a vain and superficial young man who does not really love her. Becky Sharp, on the other hand, comes from a penniless family, and is determined to use her beauty and charm to find a good position in life. What destinies lie ahead for these two young women?
