Becky by Sarah May - Sinéad & Rick's Must Reads

Author Sinéad Moriarty shares her review of Becky by Sarah MayThis fast-paced, spikey and witty romp of a novel takes us into the middle of the world of tabloid journalism in 1990s London. Loosely inspired by Rebecca Sharp's rise and fall in William Thackeray’s classic ‘Vanity Fair’, and also by the real life story of Rebekah Brooks’ rise and fall as editor of the Sun newspaper, it is a clever blend of both real, and also imagined events, and for anyone who remembers the headlines of the 1990s, it will bring you right back to the scandals and the scoops of that time.
