As I say, if any man were  ever to steal the crown from our Jilly, in the sense that he delivers hugely  readable, witty, sharp and sexy fiction, it would have to be Condé's clever  Nicholas Coleridge. * THE LADY *\u003cbr\u003eA fast-paced, enthralling depiction of an instinctive social climber who is forced to learn the hard way that the past always catches up with you. * EASY LIVING *\u003cbr\u003eColeridge's latest novel is a satirical take on our obsession with status and celebrity. Cathy Fox is a woman who will not be denied ... you'll love her brazen nerve and chutzpah. * GLAMOUR *\u003cbr\u003eYou cannot fail to be entertained by Nicholas Coleridge's latest novel ... This clever retelling of Vanity Fair is not only hugely enjoyable but also has some spot-on social observations and splendid comic set pieces. -- Sebastian Shakespeare * TATLER *\u003cbr\u003eHere is a ruthless social climber in the tradition of Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair. Her success exposes the deficiencies in of the society around her and although Fox lacks any vestiges of morality, you can't help but admire her increasingly vertiginous career. Coleridge has an admirably pared-down style and an eye for the telling brand and place name, in a manner reminiscent of Tom Wolfe: few who pick up The Adventuress will be able to put it aside before they finish it. There's also much fun to be had in guessing the real figures behind its characters. * METRO *\u003cbr\u003eColeridge is at the peak of his powers...and here's another juicily glamorous read * DAILY MAIL *\u003cbr\u003eSaucy * EVENING STANDARD *\u003cbr\u003efast-paced and elegantly plotted * FINANCIAL TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eColeridge gives [the novel] an edge of sardonic wit and understanding of the fragility of fame - 8* * EVENING TELEGRAPH *","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53187430711639,"sku":"9781409109211","price":21.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-adventuress-9781409109211","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
